Empowering Foster Youth through Oregon Public Education
Our Mission
Anthony’s Circle provides consistent, individualized educational support that helps foster youth stay connected to school, make progress and graduate, ready for life.
The challenge isn’t potential. It’s having the stability, support and opportunity to reach it.
Today, 51% of Oregon foster youth graduate from high school. Our goal is to increase that graduation rate to 85%.
Our Solution
Anthony’s Circle navigates the educational journey by bringing together direct educational support, trusted relationships and a coordinated Circle of Support around each student.
Educational Navigators guide each student’s journey, helping them succeed in school while connecting and coordinating the people and resources around them.
What began with seven students in three schools has grown into a network of support reaching 45 students across 15+ Schools in Portland, Albany and Medford.
Today, Anthony’s Circle serves elementary, middle and high school students with consistent, individualized educational support that helps them stay connected to school, make progress and graduate, ready for life.
Our Educational Navigators help build a Circle of Support around every student.
From Pilot to Proven Impact.
