Make a gift of sustained support through Monthly Giving
Oakland LAMPS
Our tutors work one-on-one with an eager child, month after month throughout the school year, providing sustained, nurturing support. Like them, the Oakland LAMPS provide sustained support so children receive the care they need to become lifelong learners, each and every month.
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 are able to pair eager young learners with a caring adult.
