Ophelia’s Place is dedicated to empowering girls ages 10-18 to thrive in a complex world. By providing resilience and growth-focused education and support to girls and the adults who have an impact on their lives, we help build communities that are better equipped to lift them up. All girls and youth in our community will have the foundation, connection, and trusted allies they need to discover themselves, rise above challenges, and flourish. Ophelia’s Place is here to support them, encourage them, guide them, and help them tap into their innate power so they can manage life’s challenges and thrive.

Equity Statement Ophelia’s Place is committed to embedding equity and inclusion into all levels of our organizational framework and culture. We continue to outreach and collaborate with diverse communities in order to improve access and utilization of our services by marginalized youth.

We envision a future in which girls of all backgrounds feel at home in Ophelia’s Place and see themselves reflected throughout our organization. We are committed to ensuring all girls in our community feel safe, valued, and empowered, including those who are marginalized by experiences of oppression. The Ophelia's Place Land Acknowledgement The lands on which Ophelia's Place carries out its mission are the traditional homelands of Kalapuya, Chelamela, and Tsankupi peoples many of whom are now citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. They have lived harmoniously with these lands and water for countless generations before the onslaught of colonization. Like Indigenous Peoples across the Americas, they have experienced genocide, ethnic cleansing, theft of their land and waters, and forced removal. Our ability to live, work and enjoy this area is connected to their deep loss. Ophelia’s Place resolves to invite the Kalapuyan, Chelamelan and Tsankupi peoples to share how OP can support their youth, to welcome them to join OP’s staff, board, and community, and to continue listening and learning how we can build a shared, sustainable future for all. We ask all, including our governing bodies, to respect and to learn the true history of the lands on which we reside.
