In 1986, Nate created the United Seniors of Oakland and Alameda County to advocate for better senior services, such as housing and transportation. As Executive Director of the United Seniors of Oakland, he was responsible for managing the affairs of the organization, training and developing leadership among the elderly, which enabled them to address their specific needs in regards to safety, adequate transportation and other areas of concern.
