About
Our Mission
DESTINY (De-Escalation Skills Training Inspiring Nonviolence in Youth) Arts Center exists to end isolation, prejudice and violence in the lives of young people.
Founded in 1988, Destiny’s mission is to address the direct correspondence of increasing crime and violence to the declining existence of safe, accessible after-school activities in Oakland. Today, healthy environments, safe spaces, basic resources, positive role models, and creative pursuits, continue to be visibly absent elements in the Oakland neighborhoods we serve. The entrenched frustration, depression and tension of our youth are palpable.
