Get Involved
Ensuring that every Oakland student is afforded their civil right to literacy will take all of us.
Parents and caregivers as their children’s first and most important teachers; schools providing effective instruction in safe and supportive learning environments; communities working together to expand opportunities and remove barriers
to learning through private and social sector services; volunteerism and civic engagement.
