Our Unique Value
All Hands Raised mobilizes a collective of changemakers 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:
Center Equity in All We Do: Center students, families, and communities most impacted by systemic barriers to ensure solutions are driven by lived experience.
Build & Strengthen a Collaborative, Trusting Community: Break down silos to foster shared ownership, decision-making, and accountability across sectors.
Use Data to Inform and Accelerate Collective Action: Translate data into action to drive meaningful, lasting change.
Align for Impact: Align and mobilize people, organizations, and agencies that impact—and are impacted by—educational equity.
Support the Collaborative: Provide and align the infrastructure, data, resources, and strategic support necessary to sustain organizational impact, and impact at a community-wide level.
Together, we can build a stronger, more equitable future for all young people.
“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.”
