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. Mentors are

professionally trained to aid
youth in developing resiliency
through learning and teaching
the COF nine core assets. To
find out more about becoming
a mentor, call 541-588-6445.
The organization under-
went a leadership change in
2020 when Nicole Swisher
Woodson accepted the posi-
tion of executive director.
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.

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.
