Organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club, the YMCA Teen Center and Planned Parenthood-Eastmont Health Center will gather in the Eastmont Mall from 3 to 5 p.m. to showcase their programs during a gathering that will include free food, a DJ, performances, raffle prizes and a drop-in health clinic.

The program is being sponsored by WomenFirst, an East Oakland branch of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate that performs case management for women in the community.

What the staff at WomenFirst realized, said Planned Parenthood President and CEO Dian Harrison, was its clients often were being referred to organizations in San Leandro and Berkeley for services that were available in East Oakland.

WomenFirst is hoping the fair will spread awareness that people don't have to travel, often on public transportation, to receive services such as HIV testing, access to libraries or resume help.

"We just wanted to show that this area has everything that a young person could need," Harrison said.

The Youth Extravaganza is 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday in Eastmont Mall, near the Planned Parenthood Health Center. The center is on the second floor, Suite 201, 6200 Bancroft Avenue.
