They gained skills in developing routines, teaching classes, and adaptability. Together they created a safe space for students to express themselves!

Early this year we launched an emergency grant for students to apply to. This grant was an opportunity for students to make a larger impact and bolster their communities in a clear time of need.

Students in the Asian Students Union at Portland High School developed a mural that was designed and painted by their group. Utilizing project management skills, leadership, and team work they were able to work together to create a mural that will continue to be a symbol of representation and inclusion for years to come!
