The Partnership

Convened by the SUN Service System Coordinating Council and PSU’s Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services, The Communities Supporting Youth Collaborative is a part of the All Hands Raised effort to ensure the sustained success of every child in Portland and Multnomah County from cradle to career.

Convened by the Coalition of Communities of Color, the Eliminating Disparities in Child and Youth Success is an invitation-only Collaborative working to address the issues of structural racism at the policy level accross Multnomah County.

Serving as a catalyst for the progress of young children in our community with laser-focused, data-driven action, SVP and the Multnomah County Commission on Children, Families and Community have partnered with organizations and individuals and All Hands Raised to lead the Cradle to Career partnership’s Ready for Kindergarten Collaborative.

Ninth Grade Counts is a collaborative of more than 25 organizations working with key stakeholders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to create a community-wide system connecting incoming ninth graders to school and community.

A partnership with the City of Portland, Multnomah County, and Worksystems, Inc., Summer Youth Connect is a four-year series of interventions targeted for high school students during the summer months.

In an effort to help disconnected high school youth reconnect to their educational journey, All Hands Raised, through generous support from the United Way of the Columbia-Willamette, compiled a Guide to Education Programs for Out-of-School Youth.
