School Circles
UNIDOS Program Coordinator and supporting bicultural, bilingual staff ensure our School Circle content, activities, discussions, and snacks are Trauma informed, culturally specific and appropriately serve all youth we meet in schools.
We have 4 staff Lead Mentors who are fluent in Spanish, which means we can provide a bilingual mentor in almost every circle we host! This is especially important in Talent Middle School, where almost half of the youth we serve are Latino/a/e.

1:1 Mentoring
UNIDOS helps find culturally-appropriate Volunteer Mentors for BIPOC youth who reach out for support in the form of one-to-one mentoring.
There is a lack of support for Latinx/BIPOC youth in the Rouge Valley. Youth need adults they can relate to, and who will be positive role models for them.
All our volunteers and staff are thoroughly background checked, trained, and vetted before they interact with youth. Their training includes trauma-informed care, youth development, and avoiding bias.
