✨7 Years of Investing in Oakland Students✨

When a child learns to read, everything changes. Curiosity takes off, and a whole world opens up. That’s why, in 2024, Eat. Learn. Play. pledged $25 million over five years to close Oakland’s literacy gap, working toward 10,000 tutoring opportunities by 2029. 

To date, our 1:1 and small group tutoring has reached over 7,500 students in the Oakland Unified School District. Personalized support layered on top of classroom instruction with students building confidence one page at a time. 

We’ve also placed more than 1 million books into Oakland kids’ hands with the Oaklitcoalition and through programs like our free holiday book boxes and book fairs, and the Eat. Learn. Play. Bus. 

💬 What book changed the way you saw the world as a kid? Tell us below — we might just add it to our next book fair. 

Follow along over the next month as we look back on our first seven years. #EatLearnPlay #7YearsInOakland
