NORTH PORTLAND FIELDS PROJECT

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our vision is to create a safe, accessible, and playable soccer field on every K-8 School in North Portland. Currently there are two schools we are working with two bring this into fruition; Astor and Cesar Chavez K-8 schools. 

As a community, North Portland has experienced many inequities, including land-use, air quality, and infrastructure for youth activities and sports. The number of playable and accessible fields our community has to offer in comparison to other parts of Portland is lacking. Portland Trailblazers and Portland Timbers have made some key investments in our community to address these disparities, however more is necessary to meet the demand.

Our mission is to serve our diverse community through building interest in youth soccer and making it more accessible. We aim to level the playing field and provide students with access to premium playing surfaces earlier in their academic journey. This will directly foster a love for soccer, playing outdoors, and living active, healthy lifestyle among kids from our community.


 

Action Committee Recruitment

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we rely heavily on our volunteer parents to function. To make our Fields Project possible we need to create action committees led by volunteers. Our three action committees will be:

1. Design & Implementation
- Working with each specific school and community partners to design the ideal soccer/futsal field for their site
- Creating the logistic schedule, budget and identifying specific contractors for each school project

2. Marketing & Communication
- Creating a diverse array of methods to share about the project using print, digital, and in person outreach strategies
- Branding the project to make it easily identifiable with our constituents and key stakeholders
- Reaching out and responding to messages from stakeholders as project implementation begins

3. Fundraising & Sustainability
- Managing the fundraising campaign for the project, utilizing the diverse methods of fundraising including business partnerships, individual, and private gifts and grants
- Working on the partner contracting and sustained funding plans for each site project to designate the continuous funding needs for multi-year maintenance and service.
