"Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story" - Josh Shipp

Building Healthy Families is looking for mentors to be that one caring adult in the life of one of our community's youth. You don't have to be perfect or even have experience to make a huge difference. We are asking for caring individuals who can reliably show up, show interest in their mentee and encourage them to reach their potential. Join us today!

Behind Oregon PTA is a group of passionate volunteers who show up because we believe in a kinder world. For Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind you of a simple truth: Your best is enough.

​Some days our best means conquering the world. On other days, it just means getting out of bed. Both deserve grace.

​To our community, we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re doing our best right alongside you. Keep going. Thank you for all you do.

Some good info on burnout. May is mental health awareness month.

Wishing our entire Oregon PTA family a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend!

As we head into the holiday, we take a moment to honor and remember the brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We are grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and the community we get to build together.

Whether you’re heading out to explore a local trail, firing up the grill for a backyard BBQ, or simply enjoying the first hints of Oregon summer, we hope this weekend is filled with rest and connection.
