Portland Is Possible: Building Bridges to Our Shared Future

Our generation faces complex and longterm challenges, including essential threats to our democracy and civic life. North Star takes an entrepreneurial approach to finding solutions, and invests our time and financial resources to accelerate change. We focus on democracy and shared prosperity — because we believe that these are the building blocks  for a hopeful future.

North Star Civic Foundation

A Space for Civic Leaders to Imagine Our Shared Future

Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education

<h3>This conversation will be grounded in information about growing wealth inequality and the impacts on civic identity and unity in our region. We will explore how our organizations and institutions might work in concert to bring communities together across economic differences, foster civic connection, and cultivate neighborliness and a sense of belonging. </h3>

<h3>About the series</h3><p>The last two years have stretched the definitions of civic, leadership, and community in profound ways. As leaders of organizations that engage — in different ways, perhaps — with each of these functions, we have all had to reimagine, recalibrate and re-engineer our roles. At the same time, it seems that the need for civic and community institutions in our democracy is keener than ever. What have you learned and what does it mean for your organization’s plans for the future? How are you thinking about your institutional role as a civic leader now? How can Portland civic organizations bring us together to imagine common ground?</p><p>These are big questions. We think our region will be stronger if we explore them in a community of peers. In this four-part series we will offer space to engage in facilitated, interactive conversations to build connections and, perhaps, a bridge to the future of the region.
