Portland is home to the ninth largest urban Native American population in the United States. Janus as an agency encourages recognizing that Indigenous people are the first inhabitants of the United States by implementing this land acknowledgement into Janus programming, practices and meetings.
In Washington and Marion counties, Janus acknowledges that we are on Kalapuy Ilihi — the traditional Indigenous homeland of Kalapuya people.
In Southwest Washington, we acknowledge that Clark and Cowlitz counties are the ancestral lands of Chinook and Cowlitz tribes, as well as the Klickitat tribe who merged with the Yakama Nation. Despite the efforts to annihilate Indigenous peoples from these lands and history, many reside and live here today. However, there are many other tribes who lived, hunted and fished in Oregon and Washington that are unrecognized. Please take a moment to offer respect and appreciation to the Indigenous peoples whose traditional homelands and hunting grounds are where we live, learn, work and play.
What a great way to inspire the Portland community to support at-risk youth and to welcome new members! Every dollar bolsters our mission and increases our visibility for the important work Janus does to change lives and build futures for all the youth we serve.
When you give to Janus, your donation goes directly to helping 6, children, youth and families by providing first-aid and hygiene supplies for our nightly street outreach program, ensuring young moms and their infants and toddlers have access to medical and mental services, providing safe and secure housing for at-risk youth and families and filling our supply closets with baby formula, diapers and warm winter clothing for youth and families who became homeless because of the pandemic.

More often than not, individuals who abuse substances are self-medicating, seeking relief from deep pain. Often times, this pain is related to traumatic life events, leading to a variety of symptoms and unsafe coping tools including substance use. The first community garden grew out of a partnership between tenants at the St.
Tenants wanted a community garden, and about 20 families participated. The program also started hiring teenagers to help grow food for residents, some of whom were seniors or had disabilities that prevented them from working in the garden themselves. The organization also started hosting food demonstrations and nutrition classes to teach community members about healthy eating, and Village Gardens has continued to build other community gardens in North Portland.
