Regence Campus Closing Hurts North Portland Kids | Portland News
Description
The Boys and Girls Club is shutting down its North Portland campus in just a month, leaving 50 kids without after-school programs and mentoring — a devastating blow for families who’ve relied on it as a safe haven. Parents are furious over the lack of notice, while the CEO admits the closure was poorly handled, citing a $2 million deficit and five years of financial strain. Though the Regence location is gone, the organization is exploring new models — like expanding into schools — and plans to release a community survey soon to find solutions before summer hits.
