The SE PDX Youth Collective believes our connections to each other are the most powerful things we have. We cultivate relationships at a unique intersection of youth, faith, and the wider community because that is what makes us resilient: knowing we have a whole community to support us, and that we have something to ground us in a chaotic world. We invite youth into curiosity and leadership because we need their unique voices and because we want them to know that together they have the power to move the world. And we take time to pause, pondering the bigger and deeper questions and allowing ourselves to cultivate meaning out of our lives and the work we do together.

We Show Up To Know Our Neighbors

We can be found canvassing for a teacher levy,  bottling honey, sharing our stories with our community, serving lunch to our unhoused neighbors, writing to our county commissioners, road tripping, playing games, gathering to retreat and rest, or just enjoying each other's company over lunch in a coffee shop.
