Our services

Children, ages 6-12 -
Our goal is that ALL children in the communities we serve grow up to be healthy and successful adults.
We offer after school programs that focus on arts and culture, such as Guitar classes and Mexican Folkloric Ballet. These services are designed to increase the participants self-esteem, create a positive view of their future, and promote academic success.
Families -
Our goal is to support the development of strong, nurturing families. We do this by facilitating access to resources that help prevent hunger, homelessness and resolve crisis situations which threaten the health and safety of the families we serve.
We also provide our clients with the skills and the knowledge they need to become more effective parents, through parenting workshops and support groups.
Healthy Communities -
Being successful in the two areas above, will result in creating safer and healthier communities.
Our goal is that the communities in which our clients live are clean, safe, free from all forms of discrimination and crime.
We strive to empower our clients to make a change in their communities, and to promote justice and equality.
To make our vision a reality, we work both independently and with partners, such as CAPACES network, SKCE, FHDC, Fostering Hope, City of Salem, Marion County, NCLR, and many others.
