Age
Young Roots Oregon is a culturally specific organization for teen parents through age 24, but if a partner/co-parent is older than 24 years old, they may attend courses and events as we believe in empowering the family unit as a whole.
Course Capacity
Each course has a capacity of 20 parents and 15 children in childcare but YRO will hold a waiting list.
Learn & Earn
We have a “Learn & Earn” initiative that pays parents $15 per hour for most courses throughout the year! We believe your time is valuable and the work a parent does to grow and change generational cycles is extremely valuable!
Note: The earned incentives are not counted as earned income by Self Sufficiency and will not affect anyone receiving TANF or SNAP benefits.
Registration
Registration is inclusive but priority will be given:
