The Student, Family, and Community Engagement Unit is within the larger Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) Department of Family, Schools, and Community Partnerships (FSCP). The Engagement Unit envisions a transformed school system that has directly confronted and actively addressed inequity and injustice so that every OUSD student graduates and becomes a fully engaged member of our community. The purpose of the Engagement Unit of the FSCP is to engage, encourage, and empower the students, families, and communities of OUSD to become authentic co-owners of our schools who share responsibility for every student becoming college and career ready.

Through creating effective volunteer systems, meaningful student engagement, and family engagement programming, we will expand participation in learning, leadership, and advocacy that results in high levels of attendance, graduation, and college readiness for individual students, families, and school communities.
