Mission: The Camp Rosenbaum Fund is a community-building nonprofit whose mission is to provide life-enhancing opportunities for low-income young people through mentoring, camp, and athletic programs. Our programs are designed to instill good character traits, hope, and a sense that anything is possible with education, hard work, and good choices.
Target demographics: Youth from low-income families
Direct beneficiaries per year: 650
Geographic areas served: Oregon and SW Washington
Programs: At both of our camps, we talk about the qualities that make up good people in our communities, and at the end of the week, we recognize our volunteers and reveal what they do in their day-to-day lives. The end-of-the-week ceremony shows the campers that the individuals whom they have grown to know are people in their community who sincerely care about them and that they are humans just like them.
