Community Advisory Board
Our Community Advisory Board is a diverse group of leaders from a variety of sectors, disciplines, and backgrounds. What brings this group together?
Everyone is passionate about creating equitable education outcomes for Oakland students. Ever evolving, our Advisory Board plays a key role in awarding A to Z Fund mini-grants to teacher-led enrichment activities & educator professional development. Each member brings unique skills, connections, & expertise to the group.
By joining the Advisory Board, members commit to individually & collectively lead the development of community resources in Oakland public schools so that all students can learn, grow, & thrive. Thank you to all of our current and past Advisory Board members for your commitment to our public schools!
