Elevate Oregon is a non-profit youth service organization delivering "an invitation to achieve" to youth in the 4th to 12th grade in the Parkrose School District, one of the most disconnected, under-resourced and diverse school districts in the state. We develop long-term relationships and promote academic success, self-reliance and leadership through in-class and out-of-class programming and mentorship.What we do:Elevate Oregon is a year-round program centered on promoting education, self-reliance, and leadership. Through culturally responsive, long-term, relational support we empower young people to become leaders and productive citizens. Our school-based community asset-building efforts cultivate character qualities and life skills that equip students with the tools they need to find their own voice, strength, and success.How we do it:Achieving our mission starts with relationships. Our teacher/Mentors deliver a culturally responsive, age/grade appropriate in-class curriculum focused on 13 character and life-skills, such as vision, courage, respect, problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership. Teacher/Mentors establish the foundation for meaningful, long-term relationships that are deepened through a range of mentoring activities that take place outside of school. Out of school programming—after school, on the weekends, and during the summer, is designed to reinforce the core values taught in the classroom.For more information visit: www.elevateoregon.org
