"What will you do with your one wild and precious life?" asked the poet Mary Oliver. In a troubling world of conflict and despair, it's easy to believe that nothing we do can bring lasting peace and hope. But that's a lie.

We're offering you the chance of a lifetime to partner with us in a simple and effective way — by helping children in one corner of Oakland catch up in school. We've seen firsthand at Harbor House that education is key to disrupting the cycle of poverty. The principal of one of our partner schools says the difference is profound once a student receives educational support through Harbor House. She is asking urgently for more one-on-one reading tutors; we want to provide them. Won't you join us in this meaningful and world-changing mission? As you give, you help the children of Oakland flourish, but also know that you're honoring your own "wild and precious life."
