In October, January, and April, teachers order rewards from The Shadow Project’s "Shadow Store", a key part of our Goal Setting program, to celebrate their student’s hard work.

Volunteers assist in fulfilling and packing teacher orders, which include books, school supplies, games, sensory tools, and self-care items.

Location: 4916 NE 122nd Ave, Portland, OR 97230.

Accessibility information: Volunteers will be walking and standing for long periods of time and lifting boxes up to 20lb. There is one designated accessible parking spot, but there are lots of front row parking spaces. The ramp is directly to the right of the accessible parking.

All volunteers must complete the Hold Harmless Agreement form.

A few things to note:

  • Masks are optional.

  • There will be snacks and water available.

  • Wear comfortable clothing and bring a layer, it can be a bit chilly in the warehouse.

Thank you for your interest in supporting us with your volunteerism! We look forward to hosting you at one of our warehouse events.

Mission Statement

The Shadow Project envisions an education system that normalizes and celebrates learning differences and supports every student to thrive in school. We have a proven track record of fostering social and academic growth for schoolchildren with learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and trauma, many of whom are from communities of color, low-income backgrounds, and/or are English Language Learners. With the conviction that all students can graduate from high school given access to the right supports, The Shadow Project provides innovative tools and techniques tailored to diverse learners and supports teachers in integrating those tools into their classrooms. Together we've helped to unleash the potential of more than 14,000 capable learners in grades K-12 in Portland, McMinnville, and Salem.

Description

Founded by a Portland mom whose son, who has dyslexia, was ready to give up on school in second grade, The Shadow Project has helped foster success for children in pre-K - th grade whose special education needs include dyslexia, ADHD, autism, speech/language challenges, and trauma.

The Shadow Project has evolved from an all-volunteer "mom and pup" operation to a 501(c)3 nonprofit partnered with schools in multiple Oregon counties. The organization has three proven programs (https://www.shadow-project.org/school-programs/)that celebrate the inherent worth of every child.
