About Us:

We embrace diversity and equity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be in fulfilling our mission of "Building Brighter Futures for Children and Families".

Our vision is to create safe communities where children are healthy, and every family has the opportunity for success. Families get the support they need - when and where they need it. There is a focus on prevention and health; organizations and systems are connected in a synergistic sanctuary community that generates: Non -violence, Growth and Change, Democracy, Emotional intelligence, social learning, Open communication, and Social Responsibility.

Our investment in the future of each child means that the next generation of Oregonians will have the skills to contribute meaningfully through employment, community service, and raising their own healthy families.

At TFS we believe that every child and family can have a brighter future, through the love we bring together we can make this possible. There is so much need for mental and emotional support at all levels of our communities.

Our DEI Vision and Mission

Our mission is to foster a company culture where diversity and inclusion is embedded in our core belief system. Our vision is to increase our fundamental awareness around inclusive best practices and execute plans to support an equitable environment. We will work to create an environment where every employee is considered and valued. We will resist hate, judgment, shame, and blame, focusing instead on difference, choice, compromise, and respect. We will adopt an understanding that DEI is a journey, not a destination. Through intentionality, we will meet others where they are and learn how to bring each other along.
