Our Unique Value

All Hands Raised brings together individuals in our community who feel the urgency to take action now to further the progress in investing in our children's future. We do this by using data to drive systemic change through convening community sectors, with the shared vision that all children in Multnomah County deserve every opportunity to succeed. 

As the only organization in our community tackling these challenges through a collective impact model, we are uniquely positioned to:

  • Align and mobilize people, organizations, and agencies that impact—and are impacted by—educational equity.

  • Translate data into action to drive meaningful, lasting change.

  • Break down silos to foster shared ownership, decision-making, and accountability across sectors.

  • Center students, families, and communities most impacted by systemic barriers to ensure solutions are driven by lived experience.

Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable future for all students.


“I appreciate that All Hands Raised brings community leaders together to work on and constantly promote and keep educational equity front and center. Education is the great equalizer.”
