Scorpion Creek Ranch to Host Community Gathering at the Wildish Theater
Scorpion Creek Ranch (SCR), a trailblazing initiative addressing teen homelessness, is excited to announce its Community Gathering on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at the Wildish Community Theater from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
This engaging event will bring together community stakeholders, elected officials, educators, business owners, and advocates to raise awareness about Scorpion Creek Ranch’s pioneering model of place-based care and holistic solutions for vulnerable youth.
“Together, we can create lasting change. Join us this January to help us build brighter futures for those in need – homeless teenagers.”
– Katie Brown, Founder/Executive Director, Scorpion Creek Ranch
The evening will feature notable speakers, including Eugene Mayor Kaarin Knudson and Springfield Mayor Sean VanGordon, who will share their perspectives on SCR’s mission and the importance of supporting teens experiencing homelessness.
Scorpion Creek Ranch is dedicated to creating a sustainable, scalable model to address the crisis of teen homelessness by combining safe housing, educational opportunities and holistic care. The Community Gathering offers a chance for local and national audiences to learn about this innovative approach and discover ways to get involved.
A youth panel, moderated to guide a meaningful discussion, will take center stage to share firsthand stories and insights, offering a glimpse into the challenges and resilience of teens experiencing homelessness. This influential segment underscores SCR’s commitment to amplifying the voices of the youth it serves.
This initiative was made possible in collaboration with Allen Hall Public Relations, a student-led PR Firm at the University of Oregon dedicated to providing support to nonprofits like Scorpion Creek Ranch.
