About This Cause
Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center + Rosemary Anderson High School (POIC + RAHS) is committed to the future success of at-risk youth and adults, providing the highest quality services in education, mentoring, family outreach, employment training, and placement. For more than 50 years, POIC + RAHS has been a beacon for communities of color, particularly the African American community, as we continue to create opportunities for marginalized individuals while working against discriminatory practices. POIC provided culturally relevant workforce training and career placement throughout the 1970s. Then, viewing inclusive education as a critical component of a community's success, POIC founded RAHS, an accredited alternative high school, in 1983. Together, POIC + RAHS provides a continuum of services from classroom to career for our community's most vulnerable youth and families. POIC + RAHS continues to work against the root causes of generations-long economic, judicial, academic, and social inequities by delivering programs and services through a trauma-informed, racial equity lens. Program areas include: •Open-door, accredited high school diploma and GED program. •Peer, adult, and gang-impacted youth mentoring. •Evidence-based young parent education and case management. •Leadership development and training. •Youth and gang violence intervention and prevention. •Evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy and case management for adjudicated youth and their families. •College and career exploration, career coaching, internship opportunities, and job placement.
