Community Outreach at Ile Omode School, Oakland. CA
Drive4Change launched its first on-campus youth golf and leadership initiative at Ile Omode School, bringing accessible instruction, mentorship, and character-building directly to students during the school day. Through weekly sessions, students learn the fundamentals of golf, teamwork, and emotional discipline while gaining early exposure to new college and career pathways. This partnership represents our belief that every child deserves access to high-quality, enriching opportunities—right where they are.
