Testimonials

"It was a wonderful experience for me being a mentor through Oakland Serves. I got to know and support one student who was sincerely doing his best to succeed, and I got to see his skills, awareness, and thoughtfulness grow through his interactions with his teachers and with me. Getting to know him personally and share what I had to offer was a great gift for me."

Deborah Goldsmith

Oakland Serves

"It has been a pleasure to partner with Oakland Serves for a second year. The common value Oakland High and Oakland Serves has is the importance of caring and supportive relationships. Oakland Serve has provided a group of mentors to consistently connect with our students, meet them where they are at, and provides a journey to support students socially, emotionally, and academically."

I wanted to say thank you for your support and for being my mentor. It meant a lot, I loved working with you! I will be able to graduate! I honestly thought I wasn’t going to be able to but I did it!! I got the grades enough to graduate and walk that stage!
