EARLY LEARNING MULTNOMAH

Why? Because our existing system of social services, schools, and community supports isn't set up to effectively serve children and families of color. We want to change that... We focus on children of color because we know they are overrepresented in poverty. While children of color make up 45% of all children six and under in our county, they make up 67% of the population of children experiencing poverty... We build partnerships, set family-driven priorities, spark shifts in thinking, and support our partners to more effectively serve children and families of color in Multnomah County.
