Portland's Innovative City to Youth Initiative
The City of
Portland is again showing its profound investment in our City’s
youth, coupling investments of time with their money! This
innovative pilot program will give city employees up to 4 hours of
paid time off to invest in the lives of at risk young people through
volunteer activities such as those we offer at Portland Impact: as
tutors and mentors, teaching a SUN class, coaching a soccer team,
helping with a community project at a local school or community
organization.
We’re hoping
other corporations will recognize what the City already knows: that
a strong, supportive community is a critical foundation to healthy,
successful kids. Money alone won’t do it. Young people need
the consistent investment of caring, tender hearts to hone their
souls into responsible adulthood. |
