 THE LAURELHURST  CLUB - ​3721 SE Ankeny St, Portland, OR 97214
Participants, students, volunteers and friends of Educate Ya:

Edúcate Ya is excited to announce our 15th Annual Gala and Fundraiser, Dando Bailando "Celebrando" which will be held from 5pm to 9pm, at The Laurelhurst Club. A celebration that will include live music by Dan Schlesinger and his Jazz Trio , a silent auction with pieces from local artists and businesses, coffee tasting by Sisters coffee , beverages from Deschutes, Winderlea Winery and Apollani Wineary, delicious Costa Rican food from La Carreta Pura Vida Restaurant and a dessert bar!

We will celebrate not only 22 years of being a nonprofit but a survival and resilient organization that wants to continue working with the communities we serve.

We hope you can make it to our event where we will safely get together to celebrate and raise funds for the programs we are offering to our community without costs. If you can not make it but wish to contribute we urge you to donate whatever you can. You can do it via our website or sending a check or calling our office. Thank you very much for your work and support which has enabled Educate Ya to exist for 22 years.

With gratitude!

What Our Clients Are Saying

"EducateYa is a wonderful community place where I had the privilege to teach English to Spanish speakers in Portland. My students came from Hillsboro and drove all the way into town because the methods EducateYa used are so successful. The management at EducateYa, including Rafael Arellano-Barrera are encouraging to all teachers and students to learn, experiment and grow. I highly recommend EducateYa for its mission statement and principles to make everyone in the U.S. bilingual. Yes!" 
Nana Nash


​"Educate Ya, is an amazing place to learn and build community in the Portland area."

Great school. Super teachers Well worth my drive from Vancouver. Tried another Portland school and Educate Ya was hands down better.
