The Social is commited to making a difference.

A portion of the proceeds from each of our companies funds our Social Impact Program.

The objectives of our program include:

  • Empower Area Youth: Equip young individuals with the knowledge and tools needed for financial literacy and economic empowerment.

  • Build Connections: Foster a thriving network of Portland’s emerging adults, local entrepreneurs, and innovators.

  • Real-Life Opportunities: Provide direct connections to local entrepreneurs and business leaders, offering hands-on experience and skill-building opportunities.

On Tuesdays, coming soon, at The Social Downtown, we will be hosting 2-3 hour engaging sessions dedicated to strengthening our community's social and economic impact. Focusing on emerging adults and youth interested in entrepreneurship, work opportunities, and network building, we aim to generate hope, financial literacy, and economic empowerment among area youth while building a robust network of human and social capital in Portland. We will host a party in December to celebrate the culmination of our gatherings with participants' families, showcasing achievements, pride, and future job opportunities.
