The Oakland REACH builds solutions with families so our children can get the academic support they need—and parents and caregivers have the information, tools, and confidence to lead.
Too many children are not getting the learning support they need to thrive. Families see the gaps up close—and they also see what is possible.
For more than a decade, The Oakland REACH has organized, listened to, and built alongside families. Together, we turn what families know into practical solutions that help children learn and give parents and caregivers more power in their education.
Families know what our kids need. We build it together.
We put families in the driver’s seat
Ask parents questions
Listen to their aspirations
Build the solutions
Liberate our communities
That’s our formula. And it works.
Our work today
More learning time. More family power.
The REACH Parent District is our long-term model for connecting families with high-quality virtual reading support, Family Success Coaching, and information about their child’s progress.
Together, these supports help families turn time outside of school into meaningful learning time—and become stronger academic partners for their children.
Evidence and impact
When families have the right support, children grow.
With REACH Parent District, Families gain a clearer view of their child’s progress, a coach who helps them act on what they learn, and a routine they can sustain over time.
REACH Parent District intentionally supports the entire family unit, recognizing that families are students’ strongest advocates.
As we begin our second year of partnership, school principals are excited to start the year with RPD seats that can help students build a strong foundation in literacy.
We value REACH’s flexibility, responsiveness, and use of data — as well as its commitment to helping families understand their child’s reading level, take action, and collaborate more closely with their school.”
