Oregon Military Teen Panel with Advisors
Month of the Military Child Thank You's!
April was Month of the Military Child and the highlight of our celebration in Oregon was our First Annual Youth Military Ball! Thank you to all of the families that attended and thank you to all of the volunteers that supported the event! Earlier that day we also held our first Young Leader's Conference where the Oregon Military Teen Panel worked with 21 youth ages 7-12 to help them Dream bigger, Explore farther, Imagine greater and Discover together.
Throughout the month we also had other wonderful celebrations at JJ Jump and as part of Purple Up Day. Check out some of our best pics below!
