An Oakland volunteer center that helped distribute government money to youth groups and community programs for 25 years will undergo a city audit over allegations that it misused public money.
The Volunteer Center of Alameda County, which had offices in Oakland and Pleasanton, filed for bankruptcy in late December. Employees said the center had been plagued with financial troubles for some time, with paychecks coming late and money earmarked for special programs disappearing with little or no explanation.
