Children, Youth, & Family Services

Helping students achieve in school is a powerful way to prevent intergenerational poverty. Portland Impact provides education
programs and services to students in 21 schools. Programs engage parents and community members in children’s education, while reaching students most at risk of dropping out or participating in unhealthy activities. Through each of our youth programs, families can gain access to Portland Impact’s array of services so that their children grow up in safe, stable home environments that contribute positively to their growth and development.

Portland Impact’s Parent Child Development Services (PCDS) program is founded on the fundamental principle that parents are their children's first and most influential teachers. The program works with parents of children ages 0-5 to help them develop the skills they need to support their children’s learning and development.
 

Portland Impact Mentoring builds relationships between dedicated volunteer mentors and youth ages 5 to 14.  Mentors and students meet weekly and engage in activities such as arts and crafts, reading, sports, homework and community service projects. By connecting school-age youth with volunteer mentors, Portland Impact Mentoring helps young people succeed in school, improve their self-esteem, and reduce risky behaviors such as drug abuse and violence.

Portland Impact manages Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN)
programs in 11 schools – Buckman, Clark, Kelly, Rigler, Sabin, Woodmere and Whitman elementary schools; Fernwood, and Sellwood middle schools; and Madison and Marshall high schools. SUN programs promote academic achievement and regular attendance and transform schools into community learning centers. From after school arts classes to individual tutoring services for school families, Portland Impact’s SUN programs are changing lives at some of Portland’s highest needs schools.

Portland Impact's Social and Support Services for Educational Success (SSSES) provides supportive services to adolescents age 12-17, particularly those who are at risk of dropping out or attending alternative schools and those who have low rates of school attendance.  SSSES is designed to help youth remain in school and/or get back in school.
