Let us reintroduce ourselves… Welcome to Melrose!📍🤗
We are the neighbors who show up, clean up, speak up, plant roots, paint walls, protect our blocks, and invite everyone to the table. 💪🏽
Melrose is heart, hustle, history, culture, and community care — all wrapped into one beautiful East Oakland neighborhood. ✨
We are Melrose. 💚

ABOUT CIVIC SUMMER STUDIO
Be one of 40 youth artists/builders that are interested in uplifting neighborhoods, schools and communities. We will be making murals for Chinatown and Eastlake, as well as building a popup outdoor classroom at Castlemont with students who designed it. Expect to be outdoors (in shade) all day.
We are located at the Castlemont Fabrication Lab, which is next to the Castlemont Farm, so expect to see chickens and a lot of amazing nature, as well as making art and doing carpentry builds.
For youth interested in exploring art and design as a profession, you will be doing award winning work among a group of peers and master artists and builders.

💃🏽 The @folkloricodefremonthighoakland team from @fremonttigers took the stage at the @go_cabe Conference in San Francisco last week! Thousands of educators from across California experienced the talent, culture, and pride our students bring to the stage.
Superintendent Dr. @denisegailsaddler , who served as an Honorary Chair and welcomed attendees, shared how proud she was to highlight one of Oakland Unified’s many gems.
Shoutout to folklórico instructor @ms.eve.d , @dyanadelfinpolk , and @ousd_arts lead Fillmore Rydeen for helping make this moment possible. Oakland are students showing up and shining. ✨

We are deeply grateful to @gcigc for thoughtfully arranging this meaningful opportunity for our students. Experiences like this extend far beyond a single visit, they open doors, spark curiosity, and plant seeds of possibility that can shape a young person’s future in lasting ways.
To @southlandindustries , thank you for so generously welcoming our students and allowing them to step into your world. By opening your doors, you opened their eyes to the vast and rewarding opportunities within the construction trades. More importantly, you offered them inspiration, guidance, and a tangible vision of what their futures could hold. Your willingness to invest time and energy into our students speaks volumes, and it will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on their confidence, ambition, and sense of direction.
We are truly thankful for your partnership and for the difference you are making in the lives of our students.
@oaklandedfund thank you for your continued support and dedication to coordinating the many moving pieces that make the Construction Link Mentorship Program possible. Your partnership truly makes this work happen.
