Outreach
The Oregon Outreach project is an initiative of the Oregon State University Extension 4-H Youth Development Program. The main goals of the project are:
- To increase the statewide capacity of OSU Extension to support community-based programs for Latino children, youth, and families.
- To increase the quality and quantity of community-based, culturally relevant educational programs for Latino children and youth.
Four counties serve as project demonstration sites. The project also supports outreach efforts in other counties and is a partner in Extension’s broader effort to increase the cultural competency and diversity of its staff.
The project is primarily funded by a 5-year grant (1997-2002) from the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC. Sustainability efforts to continue and expand the project after the grant concludes have been underway since the project began.
Oregon Outreach's Website is designed for youth development professionals interested in knowing more about Oregon Outreach—its design, delivery, assessment, and outcomes. In addition to providing descriptive information, the site uses a portfolio approach to include key documents and materials developed as part of the project, lists of resources project staff found useful, and a compilation of “successful practices” drawn from project experiences.
