Program 1 [2018]
Representing Educated Active Leaders Having A Righteous Dream (REAL HARD) is an after-school youth organizing program that engages 9th12th grade leaders in positive school culture formation to increase belonging, equity and graduation rates. REAL HARD has ensured students feel a greater sense of safety and belonging on campus, while also inserting themselves into adult decision-making spaces to advocate for student needs. All four of REAL HARD's sites have adopted student created Codes of Respect and REAL HARD students have developed various strategies to uphold and institutionalize these codes via school currency and stores to incentivize the lifting up of positive school culture. This student work has been institutionalized at several sites and continues to grow. REAL HARD is at Oakland Tech, Fremont, Castlemont, and Oakland High SchoolGeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$231.6KProgram 2 [2018]
Peers Advising Students 2 Succeed (PASS-2) trains upper classmen to provide 9th graders with peer academic counseling and mentoring through classroom workshops and one-on-one mentoring. As a result of PASS-2, student leaders are developed into skilled facilitators and mentors, and the students they teach learn their A-G requirements, how to read their transcripts, what resources exist on campus, how to make up classes, and how to navigate difficult situations. Much like Kaiser has you screened by an Advice Nurse before seeing a Doctor or specialist, PASS2 mentors ensure every 9th grader receives a baseline of important school navigation information before students seek out counselors for more advanced queries. This ensures that overburdened counselors have some support, 9th graders can learn personal lessons from their peers, and students who won't seek out support get it anyway.PASS-2 is at Castlemont and Fremont High School this year but has also served Skyline, McClymonds, Oakland High, Street Academy, and Oakand Tech in the past.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2017 – Jun 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$159.8KProgram 3 [2018]
