CAIRO’s expertise lies in our ability to provide services that empower clients to positively transform their lives, which is cultivated by our work with at-risk children, youth and families.

The two-gen approach encourages our programs staff to serve children, youths and their near-adults together, to harness the family’s full potential and to put the entire family on a path to success. Our services fall under three broad categories: Equitable Education, Health and Family Services, and Economic Development, comprising of workforce development and housing. Our Services are informed by and with the voice of the community in mind. We will be flexible with our delivery and responsive to our changing community demands and issues. We serve our community in Oregon and in Minnesota.
