SEI YOUTH SERVICES

Portland, OR

Self Enhancement, Inc. began as a one-week summer basketball camp in 1981, aimed at providing a positive alternative for African American teens living in an area of Portland that was leaving them behind.

By 1989, SEI had grown into a year-round program providing academic support and comprehensive wraparound services for African American students and their families. In 1997, SEI opened the Center for Self Enhancement, which continues to serve as a safe haven for thousands of children and is the hub of SEI’s work. SEI has remained a pillar in the North Portland community and continues to expand its programs to provide youth and families with a continuum of services.

Today, we are excited to join with this important organization to create an empowering, joyful and colorful celebration of community. Notable muralist Kyra Watkins from Portland Street Art Alliance will be creating a massive mural installation with Portland Project Color Corps. Members bringing it to life this spring. To do so, we need your help. 

Our fundraising goal for this project is $15,000 with another $30,000 for our next one. Every dollar amount counts!
