Mission Statement
Urban Nature Partners PDX empowers youth from historically underserved Portland neighborhoods through long term one-on-one mentoring relationships and access to meaningful outdoor experiences.
About This Cause
UNP-PDX provides basic outdoor gear and resources, information about and transportation to neighborhood natural areas, and adult guidance to remove barriers to lower income youth taking advantage of greater Portland’s superlative network of urban greenspaces. The Urban Nature Partners PDX program provides a tiered set of experiences designed to build comfort and belonging, outdoor knowledge and competencies, and leadership potential as youth grow. Our foundation is weekly one-on-one mentor-youth outings in neighborhood greenspaces. These are complemented by family inclusive group events offered once or twice monthly that provide more in-depth opportunities to experience natural areas and try new outdoor activities. Beyond their first year, youth are offered scholarships to partner led, nature based camps, and leadership opportunities guided by their interests and strengths.
