Welcome to Oakland's virtual TeenZone! This website has a ton of new stuff for you to explore!
What kind of stuff?
We have a resource map that shows different opportunities that the community has to offer you. How about an extensive new Test Preparation list to help you get ready for the SAT, ACT, or GED. Or, what about our new Mind & Body section with tons of local and online resources for staying healthy, getting counseling, and making choices about safe sex and relationships.
