We dream of a Rockwood where everyone can learn, earn, and belong.
Together with our neighbors, we engage in a relational and holistic approach to systems-level change.

Rockwood is Oregon’s poorest community. We work alongside our neighbors to co-create a new future together.
Rockwood is a historically neglected community whose 40,000 residents have a life expectancy that is 10-years shorter than the rest of the Portland Metro area. We facilitate collaborative solutions with neighbors and local leaders that provide pathways for Rockwood residents to thrive educationally, economically, and relationally.
Our Core Programs
