Resources For Players & Families
Supporting the Whole Player, On and Off the Field
At Oakland Lacrosse Club, we believe that every player deserves to feel safe, supported, and connected, on the field and in their community. This page is designed to help families and players find reliable, up-to-date information and local resources for when life off the field presents challenges.
Here, you’ll find trusted links and hotlines for food access, housing assistance, mental health and wellness, immigration support, and more. Many of these resources come directly from the schools and community partners we work with every day.
Our goal is to build power and to make sure every member of the OLC family knows where to turn for help and how to support others when they need it. These resources will be updated regularly.
If you have a resource to share or need help finding specific support, please reach out to your OLC coach or staff member. We’re in this together.
