SCHOOLS UNITING NEIGHBORHOODS
SUN School
SEI oversees 17 SUN sites, expanding over four school districts and including one charter school.
2,000 + students served in 2022-23
SEI manages 17 Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) after-school programs in school sites around the Portland metro area. Over 2,300 students participate in these programs every year.
Participating students receive focused academic support, participate in sports and team activities, and learn about cooking, culture, and the arts. Youth build confidence, healthy habits, and leadership skills as they build positive relationships with their teachers and peers. Students and their families receive wraparound supports as needed, and our 5 food pantries are located at specific SUN sites. SEI has 20 years of experience providing high quality SUN programming that helps our youth to thrive.
Get involved
If you would like to register or have any questions specific to your SUN site, please get in touch with the SUN site manager at your student’s school.

SUCCESS STORY
Season of Giving at Reynolds
3 SEI students took time out of their winter break to volunteer with WomenFirst Transition & Referral Center. They participated with the agency staff in handing out Christmas gifts and taking photos of recipients for the holiday.
They built a lasting relationship with the agency and were invited to participate in their Black History Month performance in February as the Elite Steppers Club.
“The growth I've seen in her son is equally remarkable. Initially shy and hesitant to listen to his mom, he now eagerly participates during our home visits, is excited to learn, and is becoming a helpful presence in their home.”
