SIX YEARS, SIX MOMENTS!

Last year marked a major step forward for our LEARN pillar—we launched our commitment to advance literacy in Oakland with a $25 million investment  to provide one-on-one tutoring and literacy programs for Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) students.

Our approach is simple but powerful: meet kids where they are and surround them with the books, tutoring, and encouragement they need to believe in themselves and succeed.

In partnership with OUSD, Ignite! Reading, Oakland Literacy Coalition, and more, we’re investing deeply in evidence-based strategies that help students become confident, joyful readers.

That includes:
📘 Tier 2 small group tutoring, where students work in groups of 3–5 with trained reading specialists
📗 Tier 3 one-on-one tutoring, including live virtual reading instruction with Ignite! Reading, supporting students with the greatest need
📕 High-impact tutoring during and after school hours, designed to accelerate progress for students who are furthest behind
📚 Books and culturally relevant libraries, including more than 275,000 books distributed across 27 OUSD elementary schools
📖 Literacy-rich environments like our Little Town Libraries, transforming schoolyards and public spaces into places where reading is joyful and accessible

What’s your favorite memory from our first 6 years? 💛
