Oakland Literacy Coalition

The Oakland Literacy Coalition (OLC) works to meet the literacy needs in our city, particularly for our youngest readers, by amplifying the impact of Oakland’s literacy providers. Building a future where every Oakland child can learn and love to read will take all of us. That’s why we’ve built a thriving network of stakeholders to support our city’s learners and we serve as an anchor for Oakland’s literacy efforts.

The OLC supports our network of partners to learn, collaborate, and champion literacy in order to achieve more powerful impact together. We provide training and technical assistance, leverage resources, foster partnerships, encourage dialogue, and build awareness for a citywide literacy agenda that supports equity and outcomes for all students.
