Oregon CTSOs

Who We Are 👋 Nice to meet you! We’re the Oregon CTE Student Leadership Foundation — the advocacy and administrative foundation for Career & Technical Student Organizations across Oregon. #OregonCTSO

Empowering Oregon students to lead, serve, and shape the future through CTSOs.

Building confident leaders and career-ready students across Oregon through experiences that inspire growth, purpose, and opportunity.

Shaping Oregon’s future workforce—by giving students the opportunities to explore, lead, and grow through real-world experiences.
