I recently heard about a new nonprofit called CORE (Community Outreach through Radical Empowerment). From their Facebook page it says, “CORE is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting, empowering and advocating for young people in Eugene who are surviving the effects of poverty and homelessness.”
Upon further investigation, CORE does outreach in Eugene once a week in downtown and specifically targets individuals aged 16-30. In Lane County we have little to no resources for young adults dealing with these issues, and I am personally ecstatic that CORE is taking the lead on this.
Our young people are the future of our world, and it is of the utmost importance that Eugene takes care of its own. I hope our community does what it can to support this much needed program grow.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
