Alternatives in Action (AIA) creates innovative experiences for diverse populations of children, youth and adults that challenge them to become effective citizens who will have a powerful impact on the world.

Alternatives in Action has three core programs:

2) Bay Area School of Enterprise (BASE): a public charter high school for 110 youth that creates an environment in which young people take ownership over their school and learning, and change their lives as they change the community around them and

3) HOME Sweet HOME Preschool: a fully licensed preschool for over 20 families with children 2-5 years old that promotes personal transformation through intergenerational work.
