PORTLAND, OR (May 18, 2008) - During a visit to Oregon on Sunday, Former President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton joined dozens of students, teachers and community leaders at an "I Have A Dream" Foundation program in Portland for an event coordinated by America Forward, a national coalition of more than 60 entrepreneurial nonprofit organizations urging federal policy changes that offer results-oriented solutions to domestic problems. 

The Clintons participated in a service project at Woodlawn Elementary School in Portland, where they worked alongside volunteers to build a community garden and help paint a school mural.

"America Forward coalition organizations like 'I Have A Dream' have innovative, results-oriented solutions to many of the problems facing America's families, schools, and communities," said Kelly Ward, Director of America Forward.  "It's an honor to have President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton join one of our coalition organizations to showcase innovative approaches to service and see first-hand the great work underway in Portland."
