Dedicated to eliminating health disparities affecting Oregon Latinas and Latinos through leadership, collaboration, and advocacy.

A Latino-led education organization, grounded in culturally-specific practices and services, that lifts up youth and families to reach their full potential. Their work springs from the core belief in Latino community self-determination—that is, the ability of community members to participate meaningfully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their families. They have put together a community resources pages in response to the COVID-19 crisis which includes a tab for both students and parents. They also have a tab for Health which includes resources on mental health resources for teens during this crisis.

SEI has dedicated its efforts to closing the achievement gaps for youth and families for years. When they started out, they were a one-week “enhancement” camp serving 100 students. Today, with the help of SEI Board members, staff, partner organizations, community members, and funders, they are a one-stop resource for thousands in need. Community investments in SEI are key to helping them build a positive legacy that families can pass on to their children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
