Alameda County District 5 is a vibrant community comprised of diverse cultures and ethnicities. There are constant events, issues and activities that are taking place within the District at any moment in time.
The Fifth District includes the cities of Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont, and West Oakland, North Oakland, Rockridge, Grand Lake, and portions of the Fruitvale, Manzanita and Dimond District neighborhoods.
As your County Supervisor:
a) I hope to make it easier for the residents to learn more about the District and other County Services;
b) I will keep the residents of District 5 more informed about relevant issues - political, economic, and social - that impact the residents of our District; and
c) I want to hear your ideas about what is working and what you think would make our communities better.
I will continue to work to bring together people who have a wealth of talent and creative resources to address our shared problems in our communities including access to health care, ending poverty, homelessness, crime, improving business retention, and employment.
Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have any issues, ideas and concerns you want to share with me.
Yours Truly,
Keith Carson

The Youth Ancestral Project is a program that teaches East Bay youth how to use research and storytelling techniques to gain a deeper understanding of their own ancestral roots. Initiated by Supervisor Keith Carson with the help of the African American Genealogical Society of Northern California and the Oakland Family History Center, the project reached more than 50 youth in 2011. This year, the project is expanding to reach youth in the Jewish and Asian communities, as well as youth in the Alameda County Probation Department Weekend Training Academy. If you are a youth and would like more information about participating in the program or you are an adult and would like to volunteer, please contact Project Manager Nicka Smith at oande@aagsnc.org or 650-906-1145. |
