Calendar – most of our team meetings, trainings, actions, and other events appear on our website calendar. If it’s on the calendar that means it’s open to anyone.
Become a sustaining donor – 350PDX is powered by our community, and we need your help to keep up our sustained climate action for the long run. Committing to donate an amount every month helps us be stable and resilient in a tumultuous world, and lets us focus more of our energy and resources on fighting for climate justice.
FOUR
Check in with the Volunteer Manager
Schedule a 30 minute video call with Chris for a one-on-one to help you find your feet and get involved at 350PDX – schedule here! If you’re not available any of those times, give him an email at chris@350pdx.org to find a different time.

Learning and training
Trainings page – displays all upcoming trainings, and also has many past trainings that you can watch and resources you can absorb. There is a lot of knowledge out there that was hard won by the movements that came before us. To help us avoid making needless mistakes we should all aspire to train ourselves up as much as we can.
SIX
Anti-Oppression
Read and sign the Code of Conduct / Anti-Discrimination statement, so we can move towards creating a safer and more welcoming space that actively addresses oppressive behavior.
