The Oakland school system has failed Black and Brown families for generations. We refuse to let it fail our children. The Oakland REACH is a parent-run, parent-led powerful force for radical change. We educate and empower parents to demand high-quality schools for their children.
Powerful
parents. students. families. communities. leaders.
Passionate and fearless parents
Real change happens at the intersection of organizing, advocacy and programming
The work we do locally makes national news. The Opportunity Ticket, our REACH Relief Fund, Citywide Virtual Hub, and lawsuit against the state of California for failing to provide educational equity during COVID prove what can happen when decisions are made by parents instead of for parents.
A Big, Bold and Innovative National Model
Our HUB improves educational outcomes

“When families are winning in life, winning in education becomes par for the course. That’s why we’re building solutions that disrupt poverty with privilege and ensure families have the agency to build a life of their own design.”
Refusing to accept the status quo
