College & Career
Dramatically increasing the number of college graduates from Oakland public schools.
Our College and Career program is a critical part of that journey—supporting students not just in getting to college, but through it.
We walk alongside students from the first day of class to graduation day and into the careers of their choosing, ensuring they have the guidance, resources, and community they need to persist, thrive, and earn their degree and thrive in a meaningful career.
Our Impact
Last year, $5M was awarded to over 1,400 scholars for their postsecondary journeys.
