Miss Juneteenth Oregon provides education, tools, and resources to help youth build resilience, gain confidence and make positive life choices. We aim to empower black and brown youth in Oregon and SW Washington. We accomplish this mission through…
Workshops
We host workshops throughout the year that help our program participants gain skills to manage or reduce stress, develop or improve resilience, set goals, nurture social circles, apply for college and manage finances. The program aims to help motivate, inspire, and educate, providing lessons and pulling from experiences that are not discussed in a traditional classroom setting.
Mentoring
We know that black and brown youth benefit socially, emotionally and academically from mentoring relationships with nurturing and consistent adults. We seek to place program participants with engaged and active mentors in order to ensure our program participants get the encouragement and support they need to thrive.
Leadership Development
Our leadership development curriculum helps black and brown youth develop skills to intentionally and positively influence the actions of others through a culturallyspecific lens. We emphasize not only learning about leadership but practicing leadership through service learning opportunities in the community.
