Project Description
The Hayward Promise (HPN) has completed an extensive segmentation analysis of the Jackson Triangle (JT) under the leadership of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) in partnership with the Hayward Unified School District, Chabot College, the City of Hayward, Eden Regional Occupation Program, the Child Care Coordinating Council, and a number of CBOs and JT residents. This assessment revealed a severely neglected community of low-income families, 37% immigrants, and most with a high school education or less. Inadequate public transit, unsafe parks, food insecurity, limited licensed child care, and redlining drive social inequities. JT schools are chronically underperforming and many JT students drop out of high school and college. Residents are disproportionately unemployed, most lack college degrees, and 61.5% spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing.
HPN proposes a complete continuum of solutions by 1) enhancing the quantity/quality of child care; 2) comprehensively reforming JT schools; 3) helping children at educational transitions; 4) helping youth and adults to complete college; 5) improving access to 21st Century learning tools; and 6) improving community safety, food security, health access, and economic wellbeing. These dramatic improvements build on existing efforts of CSUEB and our institutional and community partners.
CSUEB is a major institution in Hayward with significant numbers of students who serve local schools and communities via their service learning requirements and practicums supervised by CSUEB faculty. CSUEB has the extensive financial and human resource capacity to effectively manage our students’ service learning in order to create a “college going culture” in the JT. We propose to extend and enhance the school day, out-of-school-time programs, experiential learning, career pathways, school climate, and community conditions through a powerful and sustained investment in the JT.
