Justice
Teaching at Juvi -- Donald E. Long in Portland
Fri, 2007-04-27 19:20 — adminThe following was written in Winter, 2007 by Free Thomas, our primary Juvenile Justice teacher.
He writes: "I am now into my 3rd month teaching yoga to male teenagers in the RAD unit at Donald E. Long facility. I certainly knew from the beginning that this would be a challenge, yet I had no idea in what ways. Luckily, before I ever stepped foot in the unit, the staff had been talking up yoga and getting the guys excited because “Yoga” was coming!

That mission, our common bond, is to end homelessness. We are committed to creating the systemic and attitudinal changes necessary to prevent and end homelessness. At the same time, we work to meet the immediate needs of people who are currently experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of doing so. We take as our first principle of practice that people who are currently experiencing homelessness or have formerly experienced homelessness must be actively involved in all of our work.
