Become a founding ALC supporter!

ALC relies on a caring community, near and far, to support our outdoor and environmental education programming.  We work closely with Oakland Small Schools Foundation to insure that the money you donate goes directly to these programs.  You can donate by mail or on-line.  Checks should be payable to ALC/OSSF and mailed to

Even if you are not able to donate much, a small donation lets us know that you care and believe in Oakland's youth and ALC’s vision.

Please type "ALC" in the "Designation" field. 

All donations are tax-deductible.  We welcome matching gifts from employers.  ALC will thank you publicly, on our website and elsewhere, unless you let us know that you wish to remain anonymous.

With your help, ALC youth will grow academically, personally, and socially on the trails, at the ocean, and in the mountains throughout this beautiful state.  Although these places are in our backyard, without your help, they are a world away.
