Newspaper Page TextA6 East Oregonian Tuesday, May 24, 2022 CommuniCare was started by Harold and Arlene Schnitzer 25 years ago with the dream of empowering teens to become active citizens and has grown to serve sixty student groups under the leadership of their son, Jordan Schnitzer. Over the course of the school year, students learn about important community issues, evaluate nonprofits doing amazing work, and decide which to fund. It has been our great privilege to work alongside inspiring teachers and students from the North Coast to Eastern Oregon. The passion and commitment of these young people should give each of us tremendous hope for the future. “CommuniCare has sparked a light in my fellow classmates’ hearts. When we were building our mission statement, I was able to hear the debates and discussions shared about our community, and it was so inspiring to hear our classroom fill with chatter for the concern of our community.” KEYEN Nixyáawii Community School “It is incredible to witness how much high school students are able to give back to their community in meaningful ways through CommuniCare. During the grantmaking process, it was great to learn about resources I hadn’t known about previously in our community.” TONY Pendleton High School CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2022 GRANTMAKERS FROM Academy of International Studies Alliance High School at Meek Astoria High School Benson Polytechnic High School Catlin Gabel School Central Catholic High School Clackamas High School Cleveland High School Corbett High School Creekside Community High School David Douglas High School Franklin High School Glencoe High School Grant High School Jefferson High School La Salle Catholic College Preparatory Lake Oswego High School Lakeridge High School Lincoln High School McDaniel High School Nixyáawii Community School Northwest Academy Open School East Oregon Episcopal School Pendleton High School Roosevelt High School St. Mary’s Academy Tigard High School Tualatin High School Twality Middle School Warrenton High School Wells High School To learn how your school can join CommuniCare, please email kristen@schnitzercare.org or visit CommuniCareOR.org.
