Building a diverse grassroots movement to address the causes of climate disruption through justice-based solutions by inspiring, training and mobilizing people to act.
Adelante Mujeres (Women Rise Up) has a rich history of successfully engaging the Latine and immigrant community by providing educational resources and acting as a forum for community advocacy. We served over 15,000 individuals in 2022 with comprehensive, life-changing services. Approximately 98% of participants are low or extremely low income, the majority identify as female, and an estimated 91% are first-generation immigrants. Programs are targeted to Latine families, yet we have families from all backgrounds, a majority being from communities of color. We serve families through four specific departments that house a total of 11+ programs.
AdoptOneBlock's mission is to make it easy for you to be a great environmental steward when and how you want in your neighborhood.
Our signature program, Block Ambassadors, was launched in Oct 2020 and uses a unique technology platform that allows individuals to adopt their block as a volunteer Block Ambassador. Our team delivers free cleanup supplies straight to their doorstep when they sign up and whenever they need more. We also provide opportunities to connect and build a sense of community and teamwork. As of March 2025, we have surpassed 10,000 Block Ambassadors!
The Block Brigade program brings volunteers together to clean public areas needing a greater level of care. Groups are organized and led by Super Block Ambassadors.
We Believe in Portland is our largest group cleanup initiative. Through two large-scale cleanup events each year teams from local businesses come together to demonstrate their commitment to a cleaner, more vibrant city. In April 2025, we had nearly 1,800 volunteers and 170 companies join us to clean over 300 blocks in downtown and northwest Portland.
