The purpose of Agentic & EmpowerED Oakland 2024 is to raise awareness about the educational disparities affecting Black and Brown scholars in Oakland, equip parents and students with the knowledge and tools needed to take immediate action, and inspire collective efforts to foster meaningful change within our education system. We then ultimately empower families to advocate for quality education for our scholars.
This eye-opening and transformative event is designed for Oakland parents and families. Our mission is to bring awareness to crucial, hard to find data on Oakland public schools and student performance that is rarely discussed.
We aim to empower parents and scholars to take immediate action and embrace their agency to create meaningful change within our education system. We can no longer afford to wait for the system to change; instead, we must stand together and actively work towards a brighter future for our children. Connect with like-minded individuals who are also fighting for quality education, and together, let’s create a powerful movement to uplift our Black and Brown Oakland scholars.
