E-Squared: Education and Equity

Today, of every 100 Oakland students who start high school, 67 will graduate, 46 will start college, and just 10 will graduate from college within five years. We can do better!

HandsOn Bay Area has teamed up with East Bay College Fund to together recruit volunteers for a series of summer events for students who will be starting college in the fall. Make a difference for these students by sharing your experiences, lending a hand with leadership-building activities, and having a lot of fun too!

Join us for hands-on volunteer events and dialogues about education and equity. Below is a schedule of events:

• Wednesday, 7/20 - 5:30-7:00pm: TeamWorks Kick-Off (EBCF office - 2030 Franklin St., Oakland)
• Saturday, 7/23 - 11:00am-3:00pm: EBCF BBQ (MLK Shoreline Park)
