The magic superpowers of Portland’s parks system are the 200+ non-profit, volunteer, and grassroots groups devoted to stewarding and developing programs for and in individual parks, natural areas, community gardens and community centers. On September 26, 2020, PPF, in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R), hosted members of these groups to join together for a day of inspiration, training, and engagement with each other.

If the summit’s featured a presentation by Dr. Alisha Moreland-Capuia inspired you to educate yourself further on the intersection between race and trauma-informed care, review her workshop’s accompanying toolkit and purchase her book, Training for Change: Transforming Systems to be Trauma-Informed, Culturally Responsive, and Neuroscientifically Focused.
The weekend following the summit, attendees put on their work boots and volunteered at various parks in East and North Portland. Thank you to all of our day of service participants!
