W.E.S.T. Side Connect is building a stronger, more connected community in West Portland. We center Black, Indigenous, and Pacific Islander voices while working alongside other marginalized communities to create spaces of belonging, empowerment, and opportunity.
Your support helps fund:
✅ Youth mentorship & leadership programs – Empowering future leaders through guidance and community connection.
✅ Diverse educator pathways – Supporting and advocating for teachers who reflect the communities they serve.
✅ Cultural initiatives & events – Creating spaces where our histories, traditions, and stories are honored.
✅ Community advocacy & support – Ensuring families have access to the resources and knowledge they need to thrive.
Every dollar goes directly into programs that make a real impact. If you believe in building a future where our communities thrive, we’d love for you to join us in this work.
