Oakland Public School Volunteer Partnership

Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Faith Network of the East Bay

Recently, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums spoke to the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, urging the business community to invest in the education of Oakland’s children by becoming involved in a local public school. 

Far too many school communities in Oakland continue to suffer from striking educational disparities.  Chronic educational underachievement, in concert with a number of other factors, contributes to disproportionate rates of school dropouts, poor health, and violence in our city.

A modest investment of time and resources in the life of a school reaps enormous dividends, not only for individual students but for the larger community as well.

The Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Faith Network of the East Bay, urges you to join this strategic effort.  Together we can turn our schools around.  Together, we can build a better future for Oakland’s children.  We will all reap the benefits.
