This fall, Cultivate Initiatives partnered with Depave and Multnomah County Public Health on a project bringing together climate justice, workforce development, and community care.

Can you think of any better way to end the summer than enjoying a backyard gathering with new and old friends to celebrate Cultivate Initiatives' work?‍ ‍At the end of August, our friends Susan and Ernesto graciously hosted a meaningful event in their backyard.

We have launched an updated Internship Program! Three weeks designed to create a stronger, more intentional pathway from hands-on work experience to long-term employment.

Way back in 2018, Cultivate Initiatives Co-Founder Caleb Coder organized the first ever Eat & Greet in the Mill Park Neighborhood in response to a new Veterans shelter that was moving into the area.

_{Emily says, “Cultivate Initiatives gave me a second chance, and I feel like it gave me my power back. They’ve empowered me to become the best version of myself—and now I want to help others do the same.”}

Thank you for your support, Chick-Fil-A!
