Changing the future for Black and Brown families

The Virtual Family Hub Model

The Hub is a powerful mix of virtual programming combining high-quality instruction for students with socio-economic supports for the whole family. We center our work around five components: high-quality academic instruction, social/emotional enrichment, community support, tech training and economic development.

Reading on grade level

Oakland’s education system was in crisis long before COVID-19 – less than 30% of Black and Brown Oakland public school students were reading on grade level.

Reading improvement

Our Family Hub delivered real academic gains by implementing the science of reading that we advocated for via our “Literacy for All” campaign.

Building Our Own Privilege

We make sure families get the best so they start expecting the best. We deliver families what they deserve and it works. As the demand has increased, we have expanded the Hub to reach more students. And we are ready to replicate the Hub across the state and country. Growing the Hub gives the power and agency back to low-income families to have the biggest voice in their child’s education.

9 out of 10 parents said the Hub is having a positive impact on their lives and their child’s education.

We don't just feed our families, we teach them how to fish.

We are working together to show Black and Brown families from Oakland just how incredibly powerful they are. We are thrilled to offer tailored math, spoken word, and reading lessons to help students discover the magic of their Black legacy.

I feel like I was not parenting my scholar alone. I feel like I have a team of folks who are ready to support me and have my back. Now I feel more prepared to advocate for my children and fight for the rights of my child.
