Empowering Youth to Thrive with Love, Guidance, and Purpose

About Love & Pray
Love & Pray is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth in Portland through hands-on life skills training, meaningful community service, and open conversations on any topic. Inspired by a legacy of love and guidance, we create a safe, welcoming space where young people can express themselves freely, ask questions, and explore their values without judgment.
Our mission is to foster spiritual, moral, and financial growth in the next generation, preparing them to thrive as confident, compassionate, and responsible adults. We believe that every young person deserves access to mentorship, practical skills, and a supportive community that helps them navigate life’s challenges and discover their full potential.
