Year in Review
Thank you for joining us in reviewing the work of Oakland Starting Smart and Strong.
2022 Year In Review
We are proud to share highlights of our collaborative work in 2022.
This year, in addition to our ongoing activities, we developed a strategic plan based on a process involving over 300 Oakland early learning stakeholders. We refined our mission statement: OSSS is a citywide collaborative that advances racial justice, develops and amplifies community-driven solutions, and advocates for changes in policy and resources to create an early childhood ecosystem that effectively serves children 0-5, their families, caregivers, and educators. With our collective vision of success that all children, families, and early educators flourish in Oakland, we developed new priority areas which are included in this Year in Review.
As we begin 2023 with a sense of purpose and possibility, we extend our appreciation and gratitude to all of our partners and community members.
