My Nonprofit Reviews

RBO is a wonderful organization bringing passion for exercise and safety for Oakland runners to the Lake Merritt area. It's easy for volunteers and community members to sign up and support, and the organization takes its commitment to equity so seriously that they provide shoes to all the participants. It's also one of very few community programs that is multi-generational and creates the opportunity for people to join as individuals (adults as volunteers, youth as participants) or for whole families to join. It's so nice to see an organization take on making Lake Merritt safe for anyone to run the well-known path around the lake, as well as creating meaningful opportunities for people to give back to the Oakland community, and creating the opportunity for families to spend time together while exercising. GO RBO!!!!
