Overview SE PDX Youth Collective

Who We Are

As the SE PDX Youth Collective, we believe our connections to each other are the most powerful things we have. We cultivate relationships at a unique intersection of youth, faith, and the wider community because that is what makes us resilient: knowing we have a whole community to support us, and that we have something to ground us in a chaotic world.

We invite youth into curiosity and leadership because we need their unique voices and because we want them to know that together they have the power to move the world. And we take time to pause, pondering the bigger and deeper questions and allowing ourselves to cultivate meaning out of our lives and the work we do together.

Monthly Gathering

SE Youth Collective gathers on the 1st Sunday each month at Moreland Presbyterian, 1814 SE Bybee Blvd, Portland, OR 97202. For the remainder of 2025, gatherings start at 3PM and last until 5PM for both middle and high school.

Community Engagement

Through our partnerships with the SE PDX Youth Collective, we provide different opportunities to serve our community! This can take the form of more traditional service projects, such as serving food to our  neighbors and doing land restoration projects, or impacting our communities in deeper ways through the process of community organizing.

 

Retreats
Each year we have different opportunities for middle and high school students to connect for retreats, summer camps, and half/all nighters!
