The Oyster River Teen Initiative is designed to expand support and resources for teens in our community through a variety of programs and opportunities. One goal is to provide a welcoming, dynamic, youth-oriented facility that is available after school for those who are not already engaged in other extra-curricular, work or internship commitments. Currently, plans are underway to create a youth center for after-hours recreation, relaxation and connecting over good food and great music. The Center will be available to teens with the hope of also providing a weekend venue for music, entertainment and the arts. Additionally, the goal of the Initiative is to provide mentoring opportunities with area youth in order to provide greater academic support, volunteer service opportunities, and expanded cultural opportunities. "Skeletons Don't Sleep" Memoir Project
 The ORAA is supporting OR Alumnus Jeff Halldorson and his wife Kelly in their book project, Skeletons Don't Sleep. The personal memoir narrates Jeff's childhood in Durham and the abuse he suffered at the hands of his adoptive father, who was eventually arrested and incarcerated for his actions. The story is one of horror, tragedy and sadness but also of triumph, love and support. ORAA feels that this is an important book to help increase awareness of child sexual abuse in our community and therefore it is proud to be a supporter of its publication. Order your copy at Lulu Marketplace ORAA Scholarship ORAA plans to give out a scholarship every year to a graduating senior at ORHS that has worked hard to strengthen the OR community and is likely to continue those efforts in the future. ORAA Grants Grants from ORAA will be available to 1) students and community groups for specific OR community-building projects, 2) Classroom and extra-curricular programs at OR schools that are in need of additional funding outside of the regular district budget.
