The purpose of Ubuntu Affinity Space is to navigate the sense of isolation that participants often feel and to help them “recharge” their commitment after realizing they are a part of a larger community. Black educators come together in a “kinship” to reflect on their experience of participation and presence in the work that they do. A drawing will take place at each meeting for a participant to receive a $50 gift certificate.

To our School and Community Partners,

We are so excited to announce that the Youth Advisory Council Application is LIVE!  20 youth from across Oregon have been working for months on creating an application that focuses on equitable school recovery from the impact of COVID-19. All application questions were written by YAC members. This grant is geared towards schools, school districts and community based organizations.
 
The three award opportunities:
  1) Food, Housing and Income Support Grant
  2) Cultural and Community Engagement Grant
  3) Culturally Responsive and Expansive Mental    
      Health Support Grant

Join us for a special event hosted by Multnomah Educators Rising to celebrate and elevate the voices and stories of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color educators from across our community.
