Our Mission Statement: Oakland Public Works is dedicated to you! We strive to maintain, improve and preserve Oakland’s infrastructure and environment for the residents, businesses, visitors and future generations of every neighborhood in our diverse city.
Oakland Public Works is supporting dozens of community-organized service events across Oakland for MLK Day of Service 2025; hundreds of volunteers are expected to participate this weekend.
