Program areas at Alternatives in Action

Alternatives in Action high school (formerly the bay area school of enterprise) is a public charter school serving youth with leadership potential, the majority of whom have been unsuccessful in previous school settings, and strives to prepare these youth for college, career, and community. It was launched as a community impact project by Alternatives in Action and opened in 2001 as the first youth-initiated charter high school in the country. Located in the seminary neighborhood of east oakland, our high school serves 165 culturally, ethnically, and academically diverse youth by providing an environment where youth take ownership of their learning and partner with caring adults to transform their lives as they change the community around them.
