An Office for Urban Nature Partners

We are Urban Nature Partners PDX, and we empower youth in underserved areas of Portland through building long term mentoring relationships and providing access to meaningful outdoor experiences. Mentor-youth activities take place in easily accessible outdoor areas in and around Portland, are driven by the interests and abilities of each youth, are relevant to a young person's culture and background, and sometimes include their family members and peers.

In its third year of operation, Urban Nature Partners PDX needs to expand from its grassroots origins (Director Kristin’s kitchen table and personal storage area) into more accommodating office space.

Our fundraising goal will allow us to lease a space for one year that can not only serve as a work environment for Kristin, but will also serve as a space to store outdoor equipment for our youth and other critical program supplies.  As we have experienced rapid growth in the last few years (from one cohort to four, and 7 kids to 25), this work space will allow continued growth as well as work and meeting space for our interns, Administrative Committee, mentors, and families.

With your help, we look forward to finding a space to call home, expanding our program, and touching the lives of amazing folks throughout Portland as we explore the urban outdoors together. 

Thank you for your support!
