Join us June 15 – 22 as we kick off Spark the Village with eight days of workshops, placemaking, presentations, and community building in Portland, Oregon. This event is free, but your kind donations are also very much appreciated. The event schedule is listed below, with some events that must be individually RSVP’d for. Please read through this page, if there is something in particular that you’d like to attend and requires an RSVP.
Additionally, we are seeking volunteers for VBC 2024. This city-wide barn raising is only possible through collective action! Please consider signing up to help build vibrant hubs of connection and expression!
