The Oregon Child & Family Center for Excellence is thrilled to announce that we are a 2025 grant recipient by the
Oregon Community Foundation!

The Center for Excellence is grateful to be recognized by the Ann J. and Williams Swindells Fund of Oregon Community Foundation this year for its hard work in serving children, youth, and families throughout Oregon.

Since 1973, Oregon Community Foundation has worked to improve the lives of all Oregonians through the power of philanthropy. In 2024, OCF distributed more than $211 million in grants and scholarships in every county in Oregon in partnership with donors and volunteers. Individuals, families, businesses and organizations can work with OCF to create charitable funds to support causes important to them.

THANK YOU so much again to the Oregon Community Foundation for our inclusion in the 2025 Oregon Community Foundation grants!

After an incredible training last month with Martin Lockett from Lines for Life, we are excited to announce our upcoming trainings with Martin for 2026!

- "Culturally Responsive Su***de Prevention" on January 8 is another virtual training by Martin Lockett that infuses culture and diversity throughout a foundational workshop on su***de prevention.

- "Motivational Interviewing for Youth from Marginalized Communities" on February 4 incorporates the client-center counseling approach of Motivational Interviewing (MI) with Martin Lockett's personal story of lived experience with addiction and the criminal system, which prompted him to create this version of MI. This training will be held in-person in the Portland metropolitan area, although the specific location is TBA.
