Mission

Faith Network's mission is to give hope to vulnerable children in East Bay schools by surrounding them with a caring community, igniting their innate potential and helping them to develop academic and life skills crucial to their growth and fulfillment. The goal is to prepare today’s youth for a life of serving others and contributing positively to their communities.

What We Do

We provide an array of services to public schools in low-income neighborhoods but concentrate our efforts on four targeted programs. Succeeding by Reading helps improve the reading skills of 2nd & 3rd grade students through direct intervention with its Excel Reading Clinics and supports students through library services and parent engagement. Science Horizons gives low-income elementary and middle school students unique hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering and math; Health4Kids distributes thousands of nutritious weekend food bags yearly to low-income children with limited access to food. CareerBridge helps close the opportunity gap by providing low-income students at West Oakland high schools with individual mentorship, life skills, academic enrichment and internship with stipend.
