In late 2010, the Urban Strategies Council and Oakland Unified School District, in partnership with the East Bay Community Foundation, launched a bold new initiative aimed at addressing the disparities in educational and social outcomes for African American males in Oakland. This six-year initiative has been established with a set of seven key goals that reflect the massive disparities faced by young black males in our city and a set of strategies aimed at improving those outcomes and eliminating most disparities within six years.
