Focus on At-risk Youth. New Facility Opening Fall 2015. Friends of the Children, a Portland non-profit, is making a significant investment in the East County community. |
The non-profit agency Friends of the Children has begun the final planning phase of their budgeted $5 million project—an 8,500-square-foot youth center located next to Pat Pfeiffer Park on NE 172nd Ave. Construction is set to begin in February, and the facility opens in the fall of 2015.
Founded in 1993, Friends of the Children is a mentoring program dedicated to transforming the lives of children in need. Youth are selected in kindergarten and paired with a “Friend,” a full-time professional mentor. Youth’s benefit from this strength-based relationship through high school graduation.
The organization currently serves over 425 youth, half of whom live east of I-205. According to Friends of the Children’s COO, Mark Young, the organization anticipates enrolling many of each year’s new class of kindergartners from East County elementary schools. The program focuses on enrolling youth whose life challenges put them most at-risk of school failure, juvenile delinquency and early parenting.

Albertina Kerr's historic Louise Home undergoes its first major renovation in more than 30 years to complete the 10-acre campus overhaul. |
Built in 1925 as a juvenile hospital offering maternity services for dependent girls, the historic Albertina Kerr Louise Home will undergo its first major renovation in more than 30 years.
The 3-story 12,000 sq.ft. Georgian style building is the oldest and most recognizable building on the Albertina Kerr Gresham campus at 722 NE 162nd Ave.
The Louise Home will retain its historic structure and facade and receive a full interior renovation including seismic, structural and ADA building updates. A modern 2-story 4,000 sq.ft. addition between the two wings on the east side of the building will complete the renovation providing much needed space for Albertina Kerr programs and support staff.
While preliminary work has already begun, the planned start for the renovation is December 2014, with project completion scheduled for September 2015.

As a thank you to our community, the Oregon Zoo is offering free admission today!
The weather is expected to be warm and sunny on Saturday. Don't forget that you do have to pay for parking at Washington Park. Better yet, take the MAX Blue Line west to the Zoo terminal, take the elevator up.
"It's a great time of year to see the animals, and our hope is that everyone who comes through the gates Saturday is inspired to help create a better future for wildlife," said Teri Dresler, interim zoo director. "This zoo has been community supported for more than 125 years, and we want it to be accessible for everyone in the region. We are grateful for the generous support of our presenting sponsor — Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon — for making this free community day possible."
Activities taking place Saturday include the following:
Throughout the zoo, visitors will have a chance to see history in the making, as work advances on Elephant Lands — a sweeping expansion of the Asian elephant habitat that will quadruple the elephants' space and dramatically enhance their daily experiences.
