Help Children Rise-Month After Month

Your sustained gifts will help provide children with a caring one-on-one tutor throughout the school year.

Through a circle of care approach, Children Rising programs surround children and families with deeper academic support so they can learn what is needed to become confident, engaged students. When you give monthly your sustained support can be easier for your budget and ours! And it will help children rise to their God-given potential.

“Community partners are the oil that supports the machine we’re running. Having one-on-one support from a tutor helps the student go back to the classroom better able to learn.” – Alex Brandenburg, principal, Garfield Elementary School

Oakland LAMPS

Since Children Rising’s founding in 2001, our tutors have worked one-on-one with an eager child, month after month, throughout the school year, providing sustained, nurturing support. Like them, Oakland LAMPS provide sustained support so children receive the care they need to become lifelong learners, each and every month.

In that time, 70% of children who received 20 or more tutoring sessions advanced two or more grade levels in reading and math.

The Oakland LAMPS—Literacy and Math Partners—are passionate supporters who provide hope and promise in our community through monthly giving. When you become a member of the Children Rising Oakland LAMPS, you create a stable environment where we can pair eager young learners with a caring adult.

Joining the Oakland LAMPS is a special way for you to make a real impact on children and families in Oakland’s poorest neighborhoods.

  • It’s an easy, no-hassle way to make a difference.
  • It saves you time.
  • It is easier to budget your giving throughout the year.
  • It links you to other caring people like you who are doing good.
