LatinX Mentoring Program

Little Sister, Deicy and her Big Sister, Priscilla had their last outing kayaking on the Deschutes river. Deicy is off to Tennessee for college! She has aspirations to become a nurse and with the guidance and support of Priscilla, Deicy is one of 8 of Littles to graduate high school in 2020! From all of us at Vamanos Outside, BBBSCO, and Central Oregon Latino Partnership Program and the Oregon Community Foundation, we wish Deicy the best of luck in this new chapter of her life and we thank Priscilla for being an amazing mentor!!
