"We will write educational history in our renewed commitment to the children of this community."
--Dr. Marcus A. Foster

Our mission is to develop relationships and mobilize resources that create opportunities for all children in the Oakland public schools to achieve excellence.

We do this through grants to teachers and youth, scholarships for students, workshops for parents on school success and technology training and home computers for families. Our work with students, teachers, parents, and the Oakland community has a single goal: to help Oakland's public school children reach their full potential.
