Common Ground is built by people who choose to get involved and show up.
Some volunteer.
Some sponsor meals.
Some connect their church, business, or community group.
Some simply help more people see what is happening in Oak View.
However you step in, you help students find a safe place, steady adults, and the love of Jesus in real life.
JUMP TO A SECTION
VOLUNTEER
Be one of the adults students can count on.
Students do not need perfect people.
They need steady ones.
Volunteers help create the daily rhythm of Common Ground: meals, clubs, Bible studies, camps, homework help, games, rides, conversations, and small moments that build trust over time.
If you care about students, enjoy building relationships, and are willing to show up with consistency, there is a place for you here.

SPONSOR A PROGRAM
Put food on the table and trust in the room.
Meals matter at Common Ground.
A shared meal gives students a reason to sit down, slow down, laugh, talk, and feel at home. Many of our weekly and bi-weekly programs include food because relationships often grow around the table.
You can sponsor a program night by cooking, catering, dropping off, or serving a meal with your family, small group, business, or friends.
It is a simple way to meet a real need and help students feel cared for.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Support local students with what your organization already does well.
Oak View students benefit when the wider Huntington Beach community works together.
Businesses, schools, civic groups, city partners, restaurants, and local organizations can help create more opportunity for students and families.
Partnership can look like meals, supplies, internships, tutoring, transportation, field trips, grants, service projects, professional skills, or hands-on support.
If your organization cares about student safety, opportunity, and belonging, we would love to talk.
