Our Mission: #OaklandUndivided
Our mission is to ensure every Oakland public school student has 3 things: a computer, internet connection, & technology support in their home. The #OaklandUndivided campaign supports students in need to make this vision a reality.
We have raised $13 million to provide 25,000 laptops and internet to Oakland families. Learn more about our progress distributing computers and wireless hotspots.
