Students nights are conducted by social workers from the Out side-In C lin ic and persons attun ed to youth problems; parents nights, by social workers from the Fam ily Counseling Service and Jewish F am ily and Child Ser vice. Other sponsors are Lutheran F am ily Service and Catholic F am ily Services as well as the Portland Public School Board , which is providing the fa cilitie s.
