1994
A Heartfelt Thank You
The vision of KIDS Center began in 1990 when a core group of individuals including the District Attorney’s Office, members of the Bend Rotary Club and other concerned citizens came together to develop early concepts and planning to bring a child advocacy center to Central Oregon. In 1994, the 1,500 sq. foot building was built with $50,000 and far more in volunteer labor and supplies from community members.
KIDS Center officially opened in 1994 providing medical evaluations, child-friendly forensic interviews and therapy to 130 children in the first year. Since then, KIDS Center has served more than 10,000 children from Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties and Warm Springs. Additionally, KIDS Center has been dedicated to preventing child abuse in Central Oregon through community trainings, such as Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children, Internet Safety and Let’s Talk About It, which help teach adults to recognize, report and prevent child abuse.
