Our Plan
Our short-term goal is to start a K-12 school-center in Oakland that embodies the principles and practices described above. The school will function as the center within the neighborhoods surrounding it and provide wrap-around services in education, health, housing, and job training.
The long-term goal is to create a model for urban education that prioritizes the needs of youth and families as the pathway to building healthy and sustainable communities across the U.S. and around the world. [More info.]
