PCFC has brought together community builders, public servants, and sports leaders around the country to share the pitfalls of the pay-to-play system and how we can team up with organizations to push back. We've talked about the issues arising around the country and here in Portland — now it's time to talk solutions.

We have successful models to showcase, a vision to share, and we want you there!

Our mission is to provide our city with information about what PCFC and other youth organizations are working towards in the Rose City. We will share PCFC's new Rooted to Rising Model, showcase other accessible models, and host a panel discussion with Q&A featuring industry leaders and youth sports and community organizations on the ground.

We will then finish the evening with direct actions you can take to support this greater cause for sports equity and access.
