Mission Statement
Our mission is to nurture and equip vulnerable children to rise above the challenges created by generations of poverty, violence and educational inequity.
About This Cause
Children Rising was founded in 2001 to mobilize community support for struggling elementary school children living in Oakland’s lowest-income neighborhoods. Our vision is that every child is reached by a caring community at a critical time in their life to provide hope, courage to dream, and the opportunity to thrive. Our programs surround children with the deeper academic support they need so they can catch up to grade-level reading and math skills, and become confident, engaged students. This circle of care comprises three targeted programs: Succeeding by Reading (SbR) provides one-on-one literacy tutoring to systematically build foundational literacy skills fully utilizing Science of Reading principles. Path2Math (P2M) provides one-on-one numeracy tutoring for children identified by their teachers as the furthest behind grade level in their math skills. FamilyBridge provides one-on-one after-school homework tutoring and coaches parents and guardians so they may further develop the skills and confidence needed to accelerate their child’s learning at home. Children Rising partners with principals and teachers who refer children struggling the most in reading and math so we can pair them with a trained Children Rising tutor for the academic year. There is no cost to families for children participating in our programs. Children Rising is presently staffed with seven full-time and seven part-time employees.
