- Youth Autonomy – We will hostly weekly outdoor play days, locations chosen by the children ahead of time, where they can play freely with minimal adult supervision and interaction.
- Access to Tools and Technology – Bimonthly we will meet at a private home to engage in tinkering and creating with a variety of materials that children can choose from and use as they want. Bi monthly we will go to our local libraries to use their resources as an extension of SDE.

- Free Age Mixing – We are open to all ages, from babies to the elderly.
- Community – Empower Oceanside is a safe, anti-racist, inclusive space for people of all races, ethnicities, ages, abilities, sexualities, and genders. We encourage and support people’s varied forms of self-expression. We will not tolerate racism, sexism,
