Who We Are

The Student Community Engagement Center is the hub for student civic engagement at Portland State University.

Through meaningful service opportunities ranging from one-day service events to year-long service commitments, we strive to provide robust and varied co-curricular opportunities for all students at Portland State to engage with the community and become catalysts for change. If you are looking to volunteer, fulfill hours for a class, explore something you are passionate about, or make connections and explore Portland, check out our programs below and/or email us with questions at volunteer@pdx.edu
