changing lives, shaping futures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re building a future where every child in Oregon has the opportunity to succeed. Our relentless advocacy and research-based initiatives have significantly advanced educational equity and racial justice across the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team in Oregon is small but mighty; a full-time staff of six, we pride ourselves on being effective and child-centered in all we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we do<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

improve graduation rates<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2016 our team, alongside our community of 20,000+ advocates, passed Measure 98: High School Success<\/a> which provides $150 million\/year to research-aligned practices for high schoolers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

improve Early Literacy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, we passed the Early Literacy Success Initiative<\/a> which provides $90 million\/year to support research-aligned practices for our youngest readers. That means that our team of six has championed over $210 million\/annually to targeted investments that are making a significant difference for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the legislation is maximized to improve literacy outcomes statewide, in 2024 we launched the Early Literacy Demonstration Sites<\/a>. These elementary schools were selected because they are leading the way when it comes to reading, and we want to showcase what they are doing, help them learn together to maximize this new funding and become models for the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By partnering with schools at the forefront of closing the literacy opportunity gap, Stand for Children Oregon is working to ensure that every child, regardless of background, gains the skills needed to thrive in school and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
