UO Student Leadership: A Community-Campus Partnership
Students Against Child Abuse (SACA)
As part of the 90by30 initiative, SACA leverages University of Oregon student talent and resources to advance CSAW’s mission, vision and values. SACA serves as a bridge between Lane County youth and the UO student body in efforts to reduce violence in childhood, youth, and early adulthood.
This student-led organization develops resources that are tailored to student experiences and actively promotes the prevention and recognition of interpersonal violence among youth.
Parent & Community Cafés: a 90by30 program
Parent & Community Cafés are inspired by the nationally recognized Be Strong Families Parent Café model. Offered bilingually in Spanish and English, Cafés are a space for parents and caregivers to come together to share their strengths and learn from one another. This is a shift from listening to “experts” to drawing on the wealth of knowledge already in the room. Café team members strive to create safe spaces for deep, peer-led conversations about the challenges and joys of caring for children, to support social connections, build self-compassion, and reduce isolation.
Parent & Community Cafés are available online for all Lane County parents and caregivers; in person Cafés are currently held in Eugene and Springfield areas. All Cafés are held in both Spanish and English. Join the Café mailing list here, and reach out directly to the Café Team at parentcafe@90by30.com.

Cultivate: Partnerships with Schools and Community
Cultivate advances the mission of CSAW by providing training and support to school staff. Cultivate invites educational professionals to build relationships with one another, learn or refine skills and share their expertise.
Having adults in schools who feel connected, supported and prepared directly impacts the health of a school and reduces the risk of harm for students.
We work alongside schools and organizations to foster supportive and inclusive environments for youth, provide evaluation of prevention programming, and develop tools for continuous learning.
