Welcome to Edúcate Ya’s 25th Anniversary Celebration! This fall, we proudly celebrate 25 years of empowering and uplifting Portland’s Latino community through education, culture, and leadership. Join us at Dando Bailando Celebrando, our 25th Anniversary Gala at Norse Hall, where we’ll come together for an unforgettable evening of dinner, dancing, live music, and community connection. Our live music will feature Jumptown Big Band, a professional 17-piece swing and jazz band from Portland known for delivering high-energy, elegant performances that light up any event.
For 25 years, Edúcate Ya has been a Latinx- and immigrant-led organization dedicated to providing free programs that build skills, foster leadership, and celebrate Latino heritage — including language classes, health education, cultural workshops, and more. We invite you to be part of this milestone, support our mission, and celebrate the vibrant spirit of our community as we look forward to many more years of growth and impact.
