Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Oakland Literacy Coalition was founded on the belief that literacy is a fundamental right and that together, we can create the conditions for children to thrive in reading and beyond. The Oakland Literacy Coalition exists as a dedicated hub for the city's literacy efforts with the mission of working together to ensure that every Oakland child learns and loves to read.Students face many different challenges to reading achievement, both in and out of school, and these barriers cannot be fully addressed through any single program or intervention. The Oakland Literacy Coalition recognizes that a holistic approach is needed to truly create progress citywide. That's why we work as a coalition to weave together the many assets, resources, and efforts serving Oakland kids and families and enable them to learn, collaborate, and champion literacy to achieve a more powerful combined impact.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
