Description of the Oakland Gardens Branch
The Oakland Gardens branch of AYLUS strives to better our community. We wish to provide those in these communities a chance to achieve far greater success without their background limiting them. As youths living in this community, we wish to support everyone around us by creating a positive environment. This will range from participating in conversational events to preserve our world and offering greater access to volunteer opportunities for students ranging across different schools and age. Our goal is to create an accessible place for people to join, have fun while making an impact and develop a greater sense of community.
