Metro teamed up with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization to host community picnics at Metro sites.
Join us to learn about how to apply for a new sponsorship program to hold community-led activities for communities of color at Metro’s parks and natural areas!
Would you like to build your community’s capacity and connect with nature in the greater Portland region? These sponsorships provide funding and Metro staff support for community-based organizations and groups led by and for communities of color* to explore Metro parks and natural areas and create culturally relevant activities, classes and events.
