Data-sharing program targets recidivism

On January 17, Oakland Local ran an article written by Jon Leckie entitled "Unprecedented data-sharing program aims to reduce recidivism." The article was about the innovative data-sharing used by Oakland Unite and its partners in the Juvenile Justice Center and Oakland Unified School District Wraparound Services strategy. Through hard work and determination, Oakland Unite and its collaborative partners were able to create a database that includes the sharing of Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) data and Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) data. This data gives case managers, who work with high-risk youth leaving the JJC and reenrolling in OUSD, real-time data to inform individualized plans for their clients. This unprecedented data-sharing gives high-risk youth more support to succeed in life and avoid reoffending. In fact, the program has seen a 75% reduction in program youth arrested for violence and a 60% reduction in arrests overall. Dyanna Christie, Program Planner for Oakland Unite, has been instrumental in creating the data sharing system now in use.

WriterCoach Connection brings trained community volunteers into East Bay public middle and high schools to work one-on-one with students on their classroom writing assignments.  In Oakland we coach at Fremont High in the Fruitvale District and, beginning in February, we will also be coaching at Life Academy, which is also in the Fruitvale District and focuses on preparing students to become health and bioscience professionals.

 

Our writer coaches emphasize a positive approach as they work with the students on their writing and critical thinking skills.  With the support of a caring adult, students gain academic confidence and improve skills that are crucial for success in school and beyond.

 

Join us! The launch of our new program means we have an even greater need for volunteers. If you can commit to 1-2 hours during the school day a few times a month, we invite you to register for one of our upcoming trainings.  We are conducting two two-part trainings in Oakland soon; one begins on January 15 and the other on January 28. Other training sessions are available in Berkeley and El Cerrito.  We welcome volunteers of all ages, backgrounds and cultures, from college students to grandparents, working and retired people, and anyone who cares about helping Oakland students succeed.

Be a Game Changer. Become a Mentor for The East Bay College Fund

Are you looking for a powerful way to help young people in Oakland? Would you like to make a meaningful connection with a college-bound student working hard to fulfill their dreams? 

 

Become a Mentor with the East Bay College Fund. You'll work with one of 50 students who have faced long odds, navigated through difficulties in urban East Bay public schools, and are now entering the foreign arena of a college campus. Many of these young people will be the first in their families to attend college. These youth are exceptional individuals, but need support. Being accepted into college and awarded a scholarship from the East Bay College Fund is an enormous achievement, succeeding in college is another thing. 

 

For over a decade, the East Bay College Fund has helped young scholars do just that: persevere and succeed. We provide mentorship, on-campus support, preparation and life-skills education to 200 college-bound and enrolled scholarship winners.

 

Being a Mentor is a life-enriching experience that requires a nominal time commitment and gives unexpected rewards.  And there is no greater equalizer for African American, Latino and other underrepresented communities than a college degree. College graduates, on average, earn far more than high school graduates, up to 84 percent more over a lifetime. Beyond the economic advantages of attaining a college degree, the East Bay College Fund believes education matters, enriches lives, and should be within reach.

 

Become a Mentor, share your experiences, and help a young person succeed. You'll be inspired, challenged, and proud. Whether you are recently retired or firmly in your career, you can be a game changer in a young person's life.  You'll be joining a community of engaged people connected with youth and surprised by the rewards.

 

What's the time commitment? In addition to twice a year retreats, a Mentor meets with or talks with a matched student once a month. It takes very little to make a big impact.  

 

Can't become a Mentor but want to contribute? The East Bay College Fund is a 501-c3 nonprofit and your donation is tax-deductible and needed. Thank you.

Volunteer for Oakland Animal Services

Volunteers are essential to Oakland Animal Services (OAS). Not only do OAS volunteers benefit from a fun and rewarding experience, but they also significantly improve the lives of the shelter animals. Spending time with the animals, increasing adoptions by helping citizens find the right animal to join their family, and making new friends along the way, volunteers are a driving force behind OAS.

Volunteers can train to work with:

• Cats 
• Dogs
• Rabbits
• The staff to assist with administrative tasks

Volunteers learn skills for handling each type of animal and techniques for talking with the public about adoptions of them. 

Learn more about volunteering here.
