In 2022, BAOC trained leaders in Marin, Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo counties on how to engage effectively in civic life, holding multiple leadership development trainings throughout the year. BAOC worked to strengthen relationships between families across lines of difference, and educated families about the impacts of public policy on issues affecting families in these communities. Issues included housing, homelessness, care-giving for people with disabilities and older adults, and youth mental healthcare.
