I am from Colorado & have worked with at-risk youth, non-prof-its, as a tutor, writer, and full-time adventurer. I am dedicated to creating a pathway to the young people of Portland!

Julian RondelloEast Portland Community Center503.847.4273 (C) [email protected]

In addition to recently graduating from Western Washing Uni-versity, I have also worked with an initiative focused on sus-tainable agriculture & food awareness. Now as an AmeriCorp VISTA on the Future Connect team, I have shifted my attention to addressing inequalities & educational gaps in Portland.

A recent graduate from the Robert D. Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon, I am a Portland area native dedi-cated to helping you achieve your post-high school goals!

I recently graduated with a BA in Social Work at PSU. I be-lieve that all people should have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, regardless of race, age, gender, income, or birthplace.

Teen Forceportland parks & recreation

Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to fully participate in programs offered citywide.

How it WorksFirst choose the activity you’d like to do & the PP&R site at which you’d like to do it. Next, register for the class. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity. Once registered, contact Inclusion Services at (503) 823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services, you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member at that number. At the end of the phone intake it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support at the age-appropriate class. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids & services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed & can be flexible & creative, ensuring the participant engages as independently as possible.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
