Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

THE MISSION OF TOGETHER WE ARE GREATER THAN IS TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER STUDENTS FROM POVERTY-IMPACTED COMMUNITIES TO THRIVE IN SCHOOL, COLLEGE AND CAREER.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER STUDENTS FROM POVERTY-IMPACTED COMMUNITIES TO THRIVE IN SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND CAREER. WORKING ALONGSIDE PARENTS, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, GREATER THAN SEEKS TO TRANSFORM PUBLIC EDUCATION OUTCOMES IN OREGON FOR HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED STUDENTS. WE VIEW EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WORK THROUGH THE LENS OF RACIAL EQUITY, WHICH GUIDES OUR DECISION-MAKING, RELATIONSHIPS, POLICIES, AND PRACTICES. OUR WORK IS BUILT ON THREE PILLARS: OUR PROGRAMS AIM TO ADVANCE A RACIALLY JUST FUTURE FOR LEARNING BECAUSE EQUITABLE EDUCATION IS A RIGHT, WE ARE INTENT ON MOVING FROM A SYSTEM OF HOLDING POWER OVER COMMUNITY TO HOLDING POWER WITH COMMUNITY, AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO RACIAL EQUITY AND THE RESTRUCTURING OF SYSTEMS THAT CREATE INEQUITIES FOR MARGINALIZED STUDENTS.

  • WHILE THE 2022-23 SCHOOL YEAR INCLUDED BOTH FULLY IN-PERSON LEARNING AND RESUMPTION OF AFTER-SCHOOL AND ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES POST-PANDEMIC, THE YEAR WAS STILL MARKED WITH EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES FOR SCHOOLS, STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. THE WELL-DOCUMENTED "UNFINISHED LEARNING" FOR ALL STUDENTS AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC WAS AND IS EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED IN HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING OUR SITES IN ROCKWOOD AND IN DOWNTOWN HILLSBORO. THANKFULLY, GREATER THAN'S MODEL IS ONE THAT PUTS A PREMIUM ON RESPONSIVENESS AND ADAPTABILITY. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O.ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR, OUR STAFF DID A TREMENDOUS JOB OF PIVOTING AND MODIFYING APPROACHES TO SUPPORT STUDENTS, BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND VIA A WIDE ARRAY OF MORE TARGETED, INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORTS. WITH THE COMBINATION OF BEING BACK TO NORMAL SCHOOL, AFTER-SCHOOL/ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES AND OUR TARGETED APPROACHES TO PROGRAMMING, WE SAW SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN KEY STUDENT PROGRESS MEASURES, INCLUDING ATTENDANCE AND MATH SCORES, BOTH OF WHICH WERE HIT ESPECIALLY HARD IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. VISIT WWW.GREATER-THAN.ORG FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT OUR UNIQUE APPROACH TO MAXIMIZING OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
