Transform lives in Portland and beyond by empowering underserved youth through innovative sports and mentorship programs that foster hope, dignity, and resilience. Every donation fuels life-changing opportunities, providing equipment, coaching, and safe spaces where children and teens can break barriers, discover their potential, and build brighter futures. Your support creates a ripple effect of positive change, giving hope to those who need it most today.

Since 2010, Team Cole has served over 10,000 young people across Portland, inspiring them to overcome adversity through community-driven initiatives. Our programs combine athletic development with mentorship, helping youth develop leadership skills, stay engaged in school, and cultivate self-confidence. We partner with local schools, community centers, and health organizations to deliver measurable outcomes—such as a 40% increase in high school graduation rates among participants—proving that targeted support transforms lives.

Your immediate action helps us expand access to sports and mentorship for more at-risk youth who face systemic barriers and limited resources. Every gift supports essential equipment, scholarship opportunities, and safe environments where children can experience the joy of teamwork, hope, and belonging. Together, we can create a future where every young person in Portland has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances, and become leaders in their communities. Join us now—your generosity fuels hope and empowers the next generation to break through limits and reach their full potential.
