Duncan and Cindy Campbell, who have a home in Sisters, were the driving force behind building resil- ient children by founding COF in 2011. They brought to the table their wisdom and experience from launching a similar mentoring program, Friends of the Children, in Portland in 1993. According to the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, <The sin- gle most common factor for children who develop resil- ience is at least one stable and committed relationship.= Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and devel- opment, and social and eco- nomic opportunity. Yet one in three young people will grow up without this critical asset. Here in Sisters, there is COF. Mentors are dedicated volunteers who believe all youth have the capacity to pursue meaningful lives. They help give children the tools and support to achieve their fullest potential.

She and her family returned to Oregon, and Sisters, after living in Texas for the past 22 years. Woodson has 20 years of special-education teaching experience and 15 years of experience as a foster parent. She also served as a Region Foster Parent Advocate repre- senting and serving 30 coun- ties and nearly 5,000 children in the central Texas region. On Wednesday, September 29, COF will be hosting a dedication of their forever home, Campbell House, made possible with the com- munity9s support of their cap- ital campaign, supported by donations from several foun- dations as well as individuals. It is with the support of the community that COF is able to provide their vital services. With the help of a grant from the Roundhouse Foundation, COF purchased a new Integrated Flat Panel (IFP) for the Campbell House. This technology helps engage youth with interactive touch- screen capability, bringing concepts and activities to life and allowing for increased access to transformative experiences and mentoring. Donated windows and sliding doors, installed by Newport Construction, bring light into the Campbell House that is enjoyed by the youth, volunteers, and mentors. The space allows for more PHOTO PROVIDED Circle of Friends mentees build a worm composting farm for their raised garden beds. programming opportunities, and a new ramp and decking provides easier access to the yard and building. <I would like to thank the community for their contin- ued support of our programs and our children. Together we really are transforming lives, one child at a time,= said Woodson. A collaboration with the Sisters History Museum helped develop the first annual scavenger hunt, cel- ebrating the history of Sisters. Anyone with a smartphone can play after making a dona- tion for which a confirmation will be sent with the QR code instructions on how to play. The route of the scaven- ger hunt is approximately 1.6 miles and could take from 45 minutes to two hours to complete. Entrants may par- ticipate on their own or with a group of friends or fam- ily. Just one smartphone is needed to complete the hunt. Participants will be automati- cally entered to win a gift bas- ket valued at $200 at the end of the summer. Register by going to the COF website. Other summer programs will include outreach events at Campbell House in col- laboration with the Deschutes Public Library Sisters branch. Through innovative high- quality programming and ongoing support, COF is helping Sisters become a more connected and resil- ient community one child at a time, making them the perfect choice to be named Connected Community Champions.
