Getting Involved
Strong Towns PDX is fully volunteer-run and led. Get involved, and volunteer with us!
First, sign up here for our email list and Slack – that’s it, you’re now a member!
We welcome you to attend an event in-person. Check out our calendar for upcoming events.
We also maintain an online discussion space within the national Strong Towns Slack. Once you’ve joined Slack, find us in the channels with the #strongtownspdx- prefix.
We’re also working on a welcome packet for our new members – stay tuned.
