OUR EDUCATION INTERSECTION WORK
This work aims to foster a sense of belonging and equity for everyone in our K-12 public schools. Our main goal is to eliminate structural racism and other forms of discrimination within this institutions. Currently, we are focusing on developing community schools in Anaheim that prioritize racial justice and relationship-building. We use a bridging approach as we organize, empower, and collaborate with stakeholders.
Anaheim Intersections Initiative
Anaheim Intersections is a coalition of students, parents, community members, and nonprofit organizations working to create more equitable educational outcomes. We work to strengthen community engagement, family involvement, advocate for equitable resource distribution, and work towards improved educational outcomes for all Anaheim students, especially the most vulnerable.
What are Community Schools?
OCCCO is proud to collaborate with the California Partnership for the Future of Learning, a statewide alliance of community organizing and advocacy groups advancing a shared vision of racially just relationship-centered community schools. We confront the historical legacy and generational impact of inequitable schooling in California, and the country, to birth a transformational education system built for us all.
Our work together centers equity, elevates the voices of students and families of color in partnership with educators, focuses on long-term systemic change, and connects to a larger national effort to strengthen public education systems.
