We host monthly workshops & activities for our middle school cohorts in Portland Public School (PPS). Currently, we're at Cesar Chavez (North Portland), Ockley Green (Northeast Portland), and Harrison Park. (Southeast Portland)
This is a 9-month leadership development program designed to support students in addressing challenges within their schools, developing advocacy strategies, sharpen leadership skills, and connect with other students.
Our students identify with the immigrant, refugee, low-income, or Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community.
