SUN Program

SUN School (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods)

The program is designed to offer after school and evening programs for students and parents of our school community. Course offerings change each grading period and are designed to meet the interests and needs of our students and families. Examples of course offerings for students include art classes, sports classes, science classes, writing classes, and homework help classes. For adults, SUN offers language classes, finance classes, and parenting classes. We are very fortunate to have SUN as a partner in supporting our school community.

What is SUN?
The SUN (Schools Uniting Neighborhoods) program builds student success and strengthens communities by expanding school based services to include academic enrichment, recreation, and health and social services for students, parents, and neighborhood residents.

What Does SUN Do?
SUN offers programs for students, families, and community members before and after regular school hours that focus on the community's academic, recreational, and enrichment needs. Specifically, SUN:

•     Transforms the school into a community center by developing extended-day programs and on site social and health services.
•     Supports academic achievement through extended-day enrichment.
•     Provides a safe, supportive place for kids to be before and after school.

Currently thousands of students, families, and community members in 80 schools throughout Multnomah County participate in recreation activities, get homework help, meet with mentors, strengthen their connection with friends and neighbors, and gain access to health and social services through SUN.
