The Unity Council is a community development corporation located in the Fruitvale area of Oakland. It has demonstrated over 39 years of leadership in social services, housing, community and economic development. Through comprehensive programs it addresses the physical, social and economic development needs of the immigrant and low-income Fruitvale/San Antonio community.

AmeriCorps members at the Unity Council assist LEP and low-income clients who are seeking employment through our One Stop Center, and perform other community service projects that build citizenship. The most notable project is the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance/Earned Income Tax Credit initiative, where members are trained by the IRS and prepare taxes for the low-income community.
