Mission

As a collective impact backbone organization, All Hands Raised (AHR) keeps racial educational equity front and center in all our work.   Eliminating barriers faced by kids in their path from birth-to-career gives them access to, and a foundation for success beyond high school. Because AHR provides data-driven coaching and support to school teams composed of teachers, counselors, principals, and culturally-specific organizations to identify practices that work, these educator teams also benefit from AHR’s work. These practices are communicated to districts and leadership bodies to inspire scale and systemic transformation that benefits students. AHR serves as the backbone organization for the All Hands Raised Partnership by gathering Multnomah County’s diverse efforts and aligning them in ways that strengthen supports for kids. We work towards improving the way adults collaborate to improve academic outcomes for kids.
