Urban Nature Partners PDX

Urban Nature Partners PDX empowers youth beginning in 4th grade from historically marginalized Portland communities through long term one-on-one mentoring relationships and access to meaningful outdoor experiences. Our program provides weekly one-on-one outings in neighborhood greenspaces, monthly family inclusive group events, scholarships to partner-led, nature-based camps, and leadership opportunities guided by the interests and strengths of each youth. We envision a city where all youth have equal access to nature-based programs, and the mental health benefits of time spent outdoors, regardless of their background.
