At Camp Fire Central Oregon, a MESH+ certified organization (mental, emotional, and social health), we believe our actions must speak louder than our words. When it comes to supporting youth mental health, showing up proactively is at the heart of everything we do.

To honor the life, heart, and legacy of Megan Lambert, a beloved former Camp Fire team member who poured her passion into building safe, inclusive spaces for young people, we have renamed and transformed our general scholarship fund into the Love Like Lavender Scholarship Fund.

Megan believed deeply in the power of community and advocated fiercely for program access, youth mental well-being, education, and support for children with special needs. Through this fund, her vision lives on.

Why "Love Like Lavender"?

Youth mental health isn't just an abstract cause; it thrives on connection. One of the most effective ways we can support young people is by giving them access to programs where they can build healthy, positive, and trusting relationships with caring adults.

Your contribution directly powers our scholarship program, removing financial barriers so that every child in Central Oregon has a place to belong, a trusted mentor in their corner, and a safe space to grow.
