Community Outreach of Our United Villages is sponsoring a Youth Forum for Social Change where youth can come together to share their hopes, dreams and ideas for the future.
As the next generation, youth lead the way in shaping the communities that we all will live in. The Forum will be an exciting chance for youth to exchange ideas and brainstorm actions to create social change. We’ll watch thought-provoking videos, engage in lively discussion, and share diverse perspectives on creating a world that works for all. Our hope is that youth will leave feeling inspired and empowered to be the change they wish to see in the world!
No RSVP is required; however, if you wish to let us know you are interested, please register online or give us a call at 503.546.7499. Refreshments and food will be served. Childcare (under 9), transportation and interpretation are available upon request.

4) Meet the Storyteller (Mondays)
Jerry Cowan is a long time Overlook resident and has a current approval by the State of Oregon Child Care Division background check to work with children. Jerry hosts a free storytelling hour at The Overlook House, 3839 N. Melrose drive, every Monday Afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 PM with stories, games, toys and songs to entertain children from about six months to around twelve years old. This is an opportunity for parents to meet the neighbors and enjoy some quality time with their children. The stories are based on ancient Native American legends and myths crafted for children and are meant to inspire an appreciation for our forests and the animals that inhabit them. Children must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
