Children Rising
Children Rising is an educational non-profit founded in 2001 in partnership with Oakland United School District (OUSD) to ensure that every child gets a fair chance to learn in school and succeed in life. Educational inequality impacts many children in low-income neighborhoods throughout Oakland. Children Rising matches volunteer tutors with struggling Oakland elementary school children living in these neighborhoods for weekly tutoring in math and reading. They have over 200 trained tutors serving in 36 Oakland Unified School District elementary schools, including our partner school MLK Jr. Elementary.
