About Us

Todos Juntos’ mission is “Creating connections that empower, educate, and inspire children, youth, and families. We value and celebrate diversity.” Our vision is empowering youth and their families to be successful at school, at home, and in their communities. Todos Juntos believes in the importance of one’s culture and serving communities through an equity lens. We believe we can better our communities by approaching trauma through a healing approach instead of a trauma approach.  We embrace the fact that we all experience trauma and inequality in our own way and offer programs and services that focus on healing through prevention, enrichment, education, and community engagement.  Empowering one another no matter our ethnic backgrounds, or socioeconomic status is key to healing & moving towards strong communities All Together.

Who We Serve

Since 2000, Todos Juntos has served as a leading non-profit in Clackamas County with capacity and expertise to improve outcomes for rural communities. We built after-school programs that provide leadership and pro-social opportunities to historically underserved populations, and expanded to community-based, comprehensive, integrated systems of programs in four communities in Clackamas County. Todos Juntos is proud to make a positive impact in many families lives.

Todos Juntos delivers school-based services through the PreventNet model. PreventNet is simply a system of activities and programs designed to improve the lives of children and their families by creating a web of support among schools, non-profit agencies, members of the community, local businesses, and local government. This broad web of support will converge at a PreventNet site to provide prevention and early intervention services within local schools.

The goals of a PreventNet System are:

To build protective factors in the child and child’s environment  (e.g., nurturing relationships with positive role models, attachment to school, school success, leadership skills, participation in extracurricular activities)  and reduce risk factors (e.g., association with deviant peers, poor academic performance, teen pregnancy, truancy, antisocial behaviors).​

1

To increase family and community involvement in supporting schools and school-based programs. 

2

To increase student, family, and community awareness about building protective factors that ameliorate risk factors that may result in negative consequences to children, youth, and families.

3

To strengthen collaboration and promote systems integration  among private nonprofit agencies, state and local governments with schools. The  key to meeting these goals is to work with schools and the larger community to  increase the capacity of local schools to provide a safe, supervised and positive environment for expanded experiences, both during school and after school.
