Each program provides academic support, experiential learning, enrichment, mentoring, leadership opportunities, and community engagement. We place a special emphasis on reaching our community's most vulnerable youth. Our programs can be found in several title 1 schools in multnomah county. Our programs are shown to increase student achievement and develop essential youth assets such as confidence, motivation, and feelings of connectedness to their peers, school, and community.
