Greater Than

Greater Than Oregon works within the Reynolds Schools district to provide opportunities and resources which help students succeed in school, college, and career. In 2010 we adopted Alder elementary as the first "dreamer school" in the nation and commit to follow every student who graduates from Alder elementary, attends Reynolds Middle School, H.B. Lee Middle School, and then Reynolds High School, and provide them with dreamer services. We also work to create a culture of college and career in each of the schools we work in and create opportunities for any student to be involved in opportunities which inspire them to DREAM BIG!  Be sure to visit our Facebook page.

Trillium Family Services

Trillium Family Services is rooted in the truth that mental health is an integral part of overall health and well-being. If we can help children today, we can avoid the human and social costs that are inevitable tomorrow.

The Adverse childhood experiences study (ACES)* reveals staggering proof of the health, social, and economic risks that result from childhood trauma. Trillium exists to provide hope and stop this cycle of devastating consequence.
