Riverfront School's Small Business Class!
Salsa del Rio is a youth-run business located at Riverfront School in Eugene, Oregon. Riverfront School is an accredited alternative school, offering education and vocational training for at-risk and out-of-school youth, ages 11-21. Riverfront’s mission is to "guide and support youth in developing the knowledge, responsibility, and the social skills necessary for productive citizenship." All proceeds help to fund the school’s Small Business and Entrepreneurship Program.
So wonderful seeing youth from the Small Business Class at Riverfront School out at the market selling their green & red Salsa del Rio enchilada sauce packets! Thanks for your support Eugene Saturday Market and be sure to get them while you can! These would make a fantastic holiday gift for your loved ones!

Supplies for the Students!
Looking Glass' Center Point School is proud to provide all of the supplies and materials our students need to have a successful school experience. Unfortunately, like many schools, resources can be limited. Center Point School and adoptaclassroom.org have joined together to help ensure that resources are always available to continue to provide these supplies. 100% of donations will go to the Center Point School classrooms and any amount will help our students in their progress toward their educational and behavioral goals.

Looking for Host Home Volunteers!
Looking Glass' Rural Program is now recruiting Host Home volunteers! We're looking for adults who have space for youth and are willing to open their home to them for temporary emergency housing (1 to 21 nights) in the Cottage Grove and Creswell areas.
Looking Glass provides training and comprehensive support to Host Home providers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Host Home providers receive a generous monthly stipend (regardless of whether or not youth are placed in the home any given month) as well as an added stipend for each night a youth is in the home.
If you are interested and want to learn more, please give us a call at our Rural Program: 541.767.3823. We greatly appreciate your constant support!
