I started coming to the Oaks Family Care Center since i was 9 years old and I started going to the Lodi Oaks and it started out as i was younger as a place to hangout but as i grew older i realized what they were all about and once i turned 12 i started doing programming at the Oaks in Lodi and then i started to becoming interested into volunteering and i started to do that and i am currently working for Americorps Vista at the Oaks Family Care Center and i am 19 years old now and they are more of a family then my family is and now i have my 11 year old little sister going there for progrmming and hanging out
