“Coalition for racial and educational justice (formerly oregon campus compact) provides civic and community engagement as a core educational approach for student development as citizens, leaders, and lifelong learners.”

“This year, the organization expanded and added four new programs: 1.) the aspiring bipoc educators program, 2.) lgbtq2sai+ student success programming, 3.) a partnership with project rebound, based on the fifty- year-old cal state program, project rebound in oreogn is a program led by formerly incarcerated students serving their community at portland state university, 4.) and finally, our black student success focused programming, which continues to be at the center of our organization's endeavors. Campus compact of oregon also participated in community-based research, listening sessions, interviews, and needs assessments to ensure the programming was designed with the community and responded to our quickly changing world. This is particularly important in the field of education, where students are struggling to catch up after the pandemic, anti-crt' initiatives are silencing the stories of historically marginalized communities, and new technologies are changing the cultural landscape. During 2022, ccor received new funding from the oregon department of education, oregon community foundation, meyer memorial trust, oregon serves, and the higher education coordinating commission. The organization continued to serve as the comprehensive fiscal sponsor for the portland united against hate coalition. Programmatically, we were focused on advancing racial equity through direct service and in-classroom interventions geared toward addressing chronic absenteeism and academic disengagement among k-12 and higher education. This work was always complex, but the post-pandemic educational climate has presented our ccor with new challenges as we work to support oregon students holistically. This includes addressing root causes for academic disengagement, all of which correspond with issues of equity and access. As a result, our organization has increasingly acted as a wrap-around service provided to the students and communities we serve across the state. This year, our office provided academic support and mentoring services to oregon students; we also provided housing and utilities, mental and medical health, food, clothes, childcare, and job placement services. Supporting oregon students required ccor to work closely with community partners and campus representatives invested in racial and economic justice. We also collected their testimonies regarding discrimination at school and in the workplace, how educational environments could be spaces of inclusion and belonging, and how oregon schools can aspire to be student-ready instead of visa versa. Due to fundraising initiatives led by the organization's executive director, ccor has raised significant money and leveraged previous investments to prepare our new programs for success. While 2022 was undoubtedly a year of challenges and transitions, it was also a year of firsts and accomplishments. Our organization began changing its name and governance structure to embody the agency's intersectional racial justice mission authentically. While the conditions prompted our move from downtown portland (the fallout from measure 110), we did relocate to a larger and safer workspace where we could host training, consulting, and convenings of partners, staff, and americorps members. All funding proposals and program designs were developed, written, and managed by the campus compact of oregon's executive director and later implemented by highly qualified and talented staff who were hired based on demonstrated experience working in higher education and established racial justice and equity knowledge. External accomplishments and activities: connect2complete programming: one of the organization's signature programs expanded this year. Our office received a formula grant and a plan from oregon serves to support our programming expansion targeting the root causes of chronic absenteeism in oregon. As a result of this funding, connect2complete provided thirteen americorps members from historically underserved an”
