Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) was founded in 1981 as a one-week basketball camp for high school boys. 26 years later, we have grown to be one of the most comprehensive and effective youth development organizations in the nation, serving over 2,300 inner-city young people (ages 8-25) and families annually in year-round academic, enrichment, and family support programs.

Every day SEI provides children and families with options and support to help cultivate positive, contributing citizens and make Portland a better place to live.

SEI is dedicated to guiding underserved youth to realize their full potential. Working with schools, families and community organizations, SEI provides opportunities for personal and academic success, bringing hope to individual young people and enhancing the quality of community life.

Hello Neighbor. SEI Academy students worked with Julie Keefe and Caldera to create a public art project using photos and stories of North Portland residents.

Two places you can check them out: on the side of Pistils Nursery at 3811 North Mississippi and down the block on the Northeast corner of Beech and Mississippi.
