Society & Membership

Oceanside Building Learning Together Society is a registered non-profit organization with charitable status.

Our purpose is to facilitate and promote the provision of quality early years and childcare services along with accessible broad-based literacy programs for children, youth, adults and seniors in the Oceanside area.

Society

The society was started in 1999 so the Building Learning Together organization could apply for grants.  It was a small, behind the scenes group of people committed to promoting literacy in the Oceanside area.

Since then, the OBLT Society has maintained a healthy and stable organization. With the unique relationship with School District 69, OBLT acts as both community partners to the School District and representatives of the society for the community.

The Board of Directors is mainly a governing board.  Meeting monthly, the Directors keep informed about the programs of OBLT, clarify and make applicable their own policies, work on committees such as fundraising and governance, and ensure the financial health of the organization.
