Red Stone Collective, under the direction of Rodolfo Serna a local community mural artist, seeks to bring healing and opportunity to youth by providing art and cultural programming.

Several factors make this program unique and effective in reaching youth who are struggling to learn and use pro-social behaviors. For Latino and Native American youth, the connection to cultural traditions and knowledge is empowering and healing. Other youth learn about these cultures and receive support and mentorship. When youth are released, they are able to connect
with the program in the community and continue to participate in any of the activities that inspired them. Multnomah County Juvenile Detention is the only county facility for youth in the state that has an Inipi ceremony. Native American and Latino youth have some of the highest rates of non-completion for high school. Research supports improved school attendance and engagement when these youth are given access to knowledge of their culture and history.
