Dear Friends,

Northwest Family Services helps people who want to make positive changes in their lives. For

instance, in 2012, 1/3 of Oregon students did not graduate high school, but last year we had almost a

90% graduation rate for all students served by NWFS. Please browse this report and learn more

through our website, www.nwfs.org.

Feature: Academic Success & Jobs Story

One story I would like to share is about a sophomore, named Mark, who was failing

ALL of his classes. After many meetings, Mark admitted that he regularly smoked

marijuana, explained that his father was an alcoholic, and that he often used the drug

to escape the realities of his home life. We worked with Mark, and eventually got

him to quit drugs, regularly attend class, and do his homework. Over the summer,

we set him up with our CareerFit program where he was able to secure a job. His

confidence began to go up, as well as his motivation. By his senior year, Mark was

on track to graduate, still working after school and on weekends, and drug free. This

year, Mark continues to meet with his NWFS youth educator, and we expect Mark to

walk as he accepts his diploma in June!

Join us in supporting this mission — it is vital.

With Appreciation,

Rose Fuller · Executive Director
