ARRIVALS - Trans Support Group
Arrivals is a monthly support group for trans and gender-expansive people in their first year in Portland. Not a class, not intake, not therapy. A room of people figuring out the same city at the same time.
Safe Haven Info Session
Free 90-minute session for Portland homeowners with a spare room. What hosting involves, how the City’s home sharing grant works, and the paperwork, plainly. RSVP on Partiful.
Oct 17 at Blue Lake Regional Park
Blue Lake is about 20 minutes east of Portland in Fairview, or 12 minutes from Gateway Transit Center. It's a natural lake fed from underground, sitting in the floodplain the Columbia spent millennia shaping. Covered wooden shelter, flush restrooms, accessible parking, and flat paved paths the whole way. October means geese arguing on the water and cottonwoods going yellow.
January 23 at Graham Oaks Nature Park
Graham Oaks is in Wilsonville, about 30 minutes south, or 12 minutes from Bridgeport Transit Center. It's the easiest one to reach without a car. The SMART bus runs Saturdays, stops at the entrance, and is free. Used to be a farm, almost became a landfill, now it's 250 acres with 150,000 native plants put back in. Covered shelter with an outlet, gender-neutral restrooms right by the lot, free parking. January means bare oaks, winter birds, and hot chocolate.
April 17 at Chehalem Ridge Nature Park
Chehalem Ridge is out past Gaston, roughly 50 minutes from Portland or 40 from Sunset Transit Center. It's the farthest one and worth it. Former Douglas-fir tree farm being restored to oak habitat, with views across the whole Tualatin Valley. Covered shelter with a concrete floor, free parking, and a gravel access road on the way in. April means madrone bark peeling red, new oak leaves, and birds being extremely loud about it.
Co-werq: Find a job Together
Free monthly online session for job seekers in Portland. Learn one tool, get unstuck with the room, then work on your applications together. Open to everyone.
Pickles Pride Night
Pride Night is about showing up, standing together, and making it clear that everyone belongs here. The Pickles take on the Gresham Greywolves in a celebration of LGBTQ+ people, joy, and chosen family, because the world is weird enough without anyone feeling unwelcome. Love is love, baseball is baseball, and this park is for everyone.
Pride on Third
Wine Country Pride is hosting their annual Street Fair, “Pride on Third” on Saturday, June 20th, right on Third Street in McMinnville!
