En honor al Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente, queríamos reconocer el increíble trabajo que realiza nuestro Programa de Salud y Clima para abordar los problemas climáticos y de salud que afectan desproporcionadamente a las comunidades latinés en Oregon. A través de capacitaciones como Clima, Salud y Resiliencia, talleres de preparación para emergencias y Cafecitos Climáticos, los miembros de la comunidad adquieren conocimientos, fortalecen su resiliencia y se conectan con otros para apoyar comunidades más saludables frente al cambio climático.

In honor of World Environment Day, we wanted to recognize the amazing work our Climate & Health Program does to address climate and health issues that disproportionately affect Latiné communities in Oregon. Through Clima, Salud y Resiliencia (Climate, Health and Resilience) training, emergency preparedness workshops, and Climate Cafés, community members gain knowledge, build resilience, and connect with others to support healthier communities in the face of climate change.

Whether you are organizing your own party or attending local events, we wish our comunidad a safe and joyful Pride Month!

It is a time to celebrate and uplift LGBTQ+ communities but it is also critical to raise awareness and show support. This can be donating to a local organization, volunteering, attending and/or promoting events, and staying informed.

Congratulations to the graduates of the RAYOS Spring 2026 training!

We're grateful for everyone's participation and enthusiasm throughout the 6 weeks of training. Although our participants are already engaged in community work, the content provided in the training helped them build their skills as CHWs, such as community organizing, educating in different styles, and communication. We look forward to their journeys as CHWs!

A quote from a participant:

“What I really liked about the RAYOS training was that it was very easy to understand and very practical. I learned many more useful tools to help me continue supporting the community, particularly regarding health and prevention. I also appreciated that we were able to share our own experiences—as well as hear about those of the other participants—and learn from them.”

Through a collaboration with Port of Morrow and Morrow County Public Health, our CHW Workforce Program has been hosting their Spring 2026 cohort in Boardman, OR. The 21 participants with varying journeys, ranging from high school students to people with decades of public health experience, have provided valuable insights for our RAYOS: Capacitación para Promotores.

It's encouraging that younger participants have expressed the need for our CHW training to return to the area and to be adapted with youth in mind. Established community members have also validated the value of our training and added to the collective wisdom for this cohort. The multigenerational lens created by their lived experiences brings strength and opportunities for growth to our training.

We look forward to continuing to grow and collaborate with this cohort!

Our Nutritional Health Program has continued their work in delivering food boxes to Latiné families in the Portland metro area. As of January 2026, the team has delivered 295 boxes to 115 families.

The food boxes consist of cultural foods, fresh produce, and food pantry staples. This small relief not only allows families to alleviate worries and concerns about their daily challenges but also find comfort in their community. The program has built strong relationships with participants, receiving messages of gratitude and “abrazos y bendiciones.”

Thank you to our staff, volunteers and supporters who make this work possible!
