I am M.O.R.E.
After a successful 25-year newspaper career, S. Renee Mitchell worked as a high school teacher at a diverse, but low-income, school in Portland, OR. She saw trauma in the faces, bodies, and behaviors of students every day. She recognized it and wanted their experiences to be different than her own. In November 2019, she left her position as a public school educator to focus her full attention on I Am M.O.R.E. She recently received her doctorate degree at the University of Oregon, specializing in research on the power of belonging and healing from racial trauma. I am M.O.R.E. provides opportunities for adults and young people to engage in resiliency-building experiences, and then to inspire them to commit - every day - to embracing resiliency and to helping others find their path to resiliency, as well. This is all of our work. It is essential to building community and to raising HOPE!
