How Act Six Works

Act Six uses a simple but powerful four-part strategy:

Support and Inspire Send and Fund Train and Prepare Recruit and Select
  1. Recruit and Select

    Annually recruit and select diverse, multicultural cadres of Oregon's most promising emerging urban leaders.

  2. Train and Prepare
    Intensively train these groups of students in the year prior to college, equipping them to support each other, succeed academically, and grow as service-minded leaders and agents of transformation.
  3. Send and Fund
    Send the teams together with unsurpassed scholarships for four years of education at partner colleges.
  4. Support and Inspire
    Provide strong campus support and ongoing leadership development to nurture these young people as they find their vocation and grow into the next generation of community leaders.
