Latino students make up about 37% of the student body at The Dalles High School but have few options for organized social activities. The OSU Open Campus Juntos Council student club at the school decided to get school support to have a Latino dance not only for fun but also to spread cultural awareness. On April 23, 2019, the first Latino dance in the history of the school drew about 200 students.

The Juntos program, embedded in OSU Extension in 18 Oregon counties, is unique among college-access programs because it engages students’ families in learning about post-secondary pathways and making college a family goal. More than 4,800 students and families have been served by Juntos. There has been a nearly 100% high school graduation rate and 92% post-secondary education access rate.

A new three-year, $289,000 grant to Oregon State University and Southwestern Oregon Community College is a true partnership to develop programs and pathways in higher education.
The two institutions will partner with the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced mass cancellations of large gatherings in Oregon, the folks who run Oregon State University Extension Service’s Juntos program knew they had to act fast and shift their strategy.
Juntos’ state coordinators immediately shifted gears and ramped up their individual communication with families and students who were on the verge of graduating high school.

Juntos students learn STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) at a hands-on camp at OSU. Juntos meaning “together” in Spanish, is an OSU Open Campus program that empowers Latino youth to finish high school, and equips them with the tools, inspiration, and opportunity to pursue higher education.
