Our mission
Active Children Portland addresses inequities in youth and community wellness and academics through mentor-led after-school programming for underserved kids in the Portland Metro.
Our mission is to empower students to lead healthy lives, succeed academically, and inspire positive community engagement by bridging gaps within communities who have historically been marginalized.
Active Children Portland programs focus on developing the life skills that each child needs to succeed in school and beyond. The approach to youth-development results in greater academic engagement, improved health and wellness, and increased interest in community involvement. Soccer, nutrition, creative writing, and service learning programming is delivered 4 days per week, 30 weeks a year; keeping under-represented children active, healthy, and engaged in a positive, safe, and stable after-school environment.
