one of the most beautiful places in Oregon. But I'm biased..

A Native-based organization that does a lot of good work (alhough it is a little too in love with the 12-step approach
and adapting this for Native people). Newsletter, conferences, trainings, etc. I am trained as one of their Firestarters.

The local community resource for LBGT folks and supporters. They practice diversity and acceptance
of others everyday. An exemplary organization.
