New Office, Who Dis?

Hack the Hood is excited to announce that our team has moved to a new location in Oakland Chinatown. We spent the previous three years in a building about a mile away from our new location -- our old office served us well, and we made great memories (and websites) there, but we couldn't be more excited about our new space.

The new office puts us three blocks away from the Lake Merritt Bart Station. We're excited about the hustle and bustle happening outside our windows and all of the great restaurants within an easy walking distance of the new location.

While we were happy with our space, there were several motivating factors to make a move:

  1. Space. When we first moved into our last office, there were only a handful of us and plenty of room.  Now, we’ve got ten Hack the Hood staff and a growing amount of students, and space was getting tight. The new office offered more square footage, but more importantly, it allowed us to rethink our layout that better fit our team and how we're growing. Overall, we now have the facilities to better serve our youth and their needs.

  2. Visibility. We're hoping our new location right downtown will help bolster our visibility in the area and help us more quickly come to mind as youth and small businesses decide to take on web projects together.

  3. Location. What a difference a mile makes! Our last office was within immediate walking distance of three restaurants and one coffee shop. The new space is right downtown and puts us within easy walking of more than a dozen great restaurants, coffee shops, and plenty more. The location lets our team take advantage of all the offerings of Downtown Oakland and Chinatown. We're all huge advocates for this community, and we're excited that our office location now furthers that commitment.

It has been an exciting six years for Hack the Hood, and we look at this new location as the start of another chapter in our history.  We're still working on getting settled in and adding artwork to the walls, but we're incredibly excited to be in the new space. We'd love to host an office-warming party for our youth, small business, volunteers, funders, and advocates in the near future. If you're in the area, feel free to stop in and say hi!  

Thanks for everyone's support through the years and with the move. Also, we want to give a special shout out to our contractor, Hiroko Kurihara, who did a phenomenal job quickly building out the new space, and to Marites Abueg for making it look great.

The new address is 900 Alice St., Suite 300, Oakland, CA - 94607.
