For over 18 years, Oscar has committed himself to advancing educational opportunities in low-income communities. During that time, he’s worked at Los Angeles Unified School District, The Accelerated School, Youth Policy Institute and most recently at Think Together. Over the last 12 years, he has been a leader in his community, the southeast Los Angeles area. He served as an elected city council member in the City of Maywood for four years and spent two years as the city’s mayor.
