Community Advisory Board
The members of our Community Advisory Board are a diverse team of professionals, parents, educators, and Oakland community members whose expertise and energy help us bring innovation and creativity to our work on behalf of Oakland public schools.
The Community Advisory Board reviews and evaluates applications to the A to Z Fund, and recommends proposals to receive funding. Members also serve as ambassadors for the Ed Fund within their personal and professional communities, and share opportunities to volunteer at or support local schools and programs.
Thank you to all of our current and past Advisory Board members for your commitment to our public schools!
