Opportunities for the 2023-24 School Year openings are now closed.
Summer HAcK 2024 (June 3-28)
Oakland Serves is excited to again support Oakland Unified School District’s annual summer program for rising 10th and 11th graders: S’HAcK (Summer Healing & Academics 4 Kids). In its third year, S’HAcK offers an intensive credit recovery program in a positive, achievement-oriented, and structured learning environment that motivates and supports students. This year, S’HAcK is expanding to two locations and will include both returning and new community partner projects. Volunteers that can work for at least one class or one day a week are invited to apply before May 8. Clearance and training typically takes 3 weeks. Current active mentors can contact info@oaklandserves.org to discuss availability.
