Caring for the Bay Area since 1972, NAHC has worked at local, state, and federal levels to deliver resources and services for the urban Native community.

Last year marked a pivotal moment in when President Biden proclaimed June 19, 2021 as Juneteenth Day of Observance. Last year, Resource Development Associates (RDA) revisited our roster of paid holidays, including both Juneteenth and Indigenous People’s Day. Additionally, RDA committed to making a yearly charitable contribution to an organization nominated by our staff.

This year, our staff nominated a number of outstanding organizations for consideration, including Black Cultural Zone, Black Voters Matter, the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce, The Sentencing Project, Youth Uprising, and urban university.

After careful consideration, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee selected Oakland-based urban university as the inaugural recipient of our Juneteenth donation.

urban university is a 501c3 nonprofit working for the past 22 years to improve the socioeconomic status of economically vulnerable individuals by providing employability training, coaching and employment opportunities. Over the past 20 years, they have successfully delivered workforce development training and coaching services to prepare more than 1,600 low-income individuals for successful entry into the workforce.

Congratulations urban university, we are honored to support this critical work!
