Strategic  Plan 2022 - 2025

Our 2022-2025 Strategic Plan details our mission, values, and newly updated pillars. Our collective vision of success is that all children, families and early educators flourish in Oakland.

Over the past 7 years, Oakland Starting Smart and Strong (OSSS) has built a strong, cross sector collaborative table to advocate for policies that build and improve the systems that support Oakland’s young children and families most impacted by racial and economic inequity. Our collaborative strives to center the leadership and experiences of Oakland families and early childhood practitioners and ensure their voices are captured in this plan to leverage the power of our collaborative’s stakeholders

This plan, developed in collaboration with over 300 stakeholders, builds on our past successes, maps a clear strategic direction forward, and is deeply rooted in our commitment to racial justice and equity. We've developed goals and strategies in five key priority areas:
  1. Racial Justice
  2. Community and Family Leadership
  3. Systems Change
  4. Data, Policy and Advocacy
  5. Collective Impact

We invite you to view the strategic plan and partner with us to create an effective and just early childhood ecosystem in Oakland!
