On June 1st, 1996, over 300,000 people rallied in DC for Stand for Children Day — the momentous event that inspired the founding of Stand for Children.
Over the last 3 decades, we've been a voice for children in Oregon's capitol, advocating for improved access to career technical education, research-aligned literacy instruction, and time in school.

In case you missed it... The Oregon Journalism Project and Willamette Week highlighted one of Oregon's literacy trailblazers — our friend, Ronda Fritz out of Eastern Oregon University.
Ronda's High Impact Tutoring program that partners Eastern Oregon University students with local schools has inspired us to do the same in communities across the state.
Together, we can improve literacy outcomes for all of Oregon's children!

"Maxxing" is the internet's way of saying go all in.
So here's what literacy maxxing looks like: building strong reading foundations, growing vocabulary, making meaning, and connecting kids to books that are windows and mirrors.

Meet Beat the Odds Scholar, Bobby!
A single moment of connection led to the realization that he wanted to impact children's lives every day.
Now on his way to becoming a teacher, he gets hands-on experience in the classroom in the Early Childhood Education program at Grants Pass High School.
Stories like his are exactly why we believe in the power of CTE to open doors.
