Blaze a Trail

Come out and help us blaze a trail with CarMax, Wasserman Foundation and The Portland Trail Blazers at New Urban High School. New Urban is an alternative school in Oak Grove which seeks to help children in the area facing extraordinary challenges in their lives. New Urban strives to provide relevant and challenging educational opportunities and life skills within a caring and positive school climate by developing strong relationships. Students choose to take part in an innovative and unique educational experience that offers them a chance to be productive citizens of their community. Many students who may have ended up as another statistic have been helped by New Urban and have not only graduated high school but also go on to college. Come out and work alongside Blaze - the Trail Cat, the BlazerDancers and both Jake Layman and Jusuf Nurkic. We will be replacing fencing, replacing basketball goals, building picnic tables and working to increase the overall ambiance of the school. New Urban is also co-located with the Boys and Girls club. Everything we do on this project not only helps the students but will also help the children in the community who come here after school. So strap on your boots, grab your gloves and let's do some work!!! NOTE: Please consider bringing two new or slightly used books between kinder garden and elementary school ages. We are conducting book drives for the Children Book Bank throughout the year!
