Let's Get to the Point

One of the teachers we support got to the point:

     “The OS Mentors were instrumental in the success of so many of our students.”

A mentor got to the point:

     “Working with the students has been very rewarding, seeing the students make             progress on their struggles has been amazing to see.”

​Our partner CalTeach got to the point:

     “We cannot thank you enough for your support this semester and the chance to … aid in student support and learning.“

Now we have to get to the point as well:

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REACH OUR $5,000 GOAL THIS WEEK

Putting volunteer mentors into classrooms is not free.  While we are volunteer-run, it costs money to run our programs.  Our paid staff continously recruits and prepares mentors.  They work weekly with mentors, teachers and school staff to ensure success in the classroom.

Without donors like you, we cannot operate.

• If you care about improving the well-being of Oakland and the Bay Area,

                                                              …donate to help us continue our mission.
