Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

WE WORK WITH FAMILIES FROM THE MOST UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN OAKLAND TO FIGHT FOR OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL KIDS. WE LAUNCHED A VIRTUAL FAMILY HUB, RAN NUMEROUS PARENT FELLOWSHIPS, AND ENGAGED AND EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF PARENTS.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

CITYWIDE VIRTUAL HUB: OVER THIS PAST YEAR, WE CONTINUED TO RUN OUR HUB AND EXPANDED OUR REACH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT (OUSD) SO WE COULD SUPPORT MORE FAMILIES. OUR HUB IS NOW IMPACTING 1,000 STUDENTS (UP FROM 200 THE YEAR PRIOR). WE CONTINUED TO DELIVER TREMENDOUS READING GAINS: FROM OCTOBER TO DECEMBER 2021, WE MOVED URGENTLY TO PROVIDE HIGH-DOSAGE LITERACY SUPPORT TO 250 STUDENTS, GRADES K-3, ENROLLED IN OUSDS VIRTUAL SCHOOL. ON AVERAGE, STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED AT LEAST HALF OF THE SESSIONS MASTERED HALF A YEARS WORTH OF READING LESSONS IN JUST 2.5 MONTHS. MANY OF THESE STUDENTS STARTED OUT BEHIND GRADE LEVEL BUT OUR HIGH-DOSAGE TUTORING, 3 DAYS A WEEK, SHOWED THEY COULD LEARN AT AN ACCELERATED PACE.


CAMPAIGN: THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY HAS NEVER CENTERED THE POWER AND VOICES OF BLACK AND BROWN FAMILIES. THE OAKLAND REACH IS CHANGING THAT. WHAT STARTED WITH A SMALL GROUP OF PARENTS FIVE YEARS AGO HAS GROWN INTO A NATIONAL VOICE DEMANDING RADICAL CHANGE. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WEVE HEARD FROM OVER A DOZEN DISTRICTS AND ORGANIZATIONS LOOKING TO REPLICATE OUR POWER PARENT PLAYBOOK; WEVE BEEN COVERED IN MORE THAN 50 STATEWIDE, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS OUTLETS; AND WEVE LAUNCHED AND GROWN A VIRTUAL FAMILY HUB DELIVERING QUALITY ACADEMICS AND REAL RESULTS FOR OVER 400 STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. TO TRULY TRANSFORM EDUCATION, WE ARE CENTERING PARENT POWER AND BUILDING DISRUPTIVE AND INNOVATIVE ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE FARTHEST AWAY FROM OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE PULLING BOLD ADVOCACY LEVERS THAT CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO IN CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.


OUR FAMILY ADVOCACY FELLOWSHIP EDUCATES PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS ABOUT THE STATE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND THE SCHOOL CHOICES AVAILABLE. THIS KNOWLEDGE EMPOWERS FELLOWSHIP GRADUATES TO USE THEIR VOICES TO DEMAND A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN. SINCE DECEMBER 2016, NEARLY 400 PUBLIC SCHOOL PARENTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE FELLOWSHIP.
