Dawson Park Historic Story Boulders Restoration

Posted on by Serena Li

This week, the existing steel plates and boulders will be removed temporarily from Dawson park for off-site restoration work. The installation of the updated plates and renovated boulders is expected to occur between April – May 2025 to avoid the busy summer season in the park. None of the removal or installation work will impact use of the rest of the park’s amenities. 

To learn more, see the full email notice provided by the City of Portland.

Join us on Stanton Street for family-friendly snacks and crafting on Saturday, October 19 from 10am-2pm!

Meet your neighbors and make spooky or cute things to take home. We’ll have mini pumpkins available, and if you’d like to decorate a big one please bring one with you! We plan to keep it simple with a focus on surface decorations rather than cutting through the pumpkins. Hope to see you there!

Call for Volunteer Mentors and Tutors with Minds Matter Portland

Posted on by Serena Li

Minds Matter Portland helps ambitious low-income students achieve their dream of going to college. They provide guidance, resources, and hands-on opportunities to ensure that students develop the skills to successfully navigate the admissions process, their college years, and beyond. Given the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action, volunteer action is ever more urgent and necessary to bridge the access gap for these promising young students.

Minds Matter began in NYC more than 30 years ago, and has been operating in Portland for nearly 20 years. The program is deeply committed to delivering results: 100% of Minds Matter students are accepted to 4-year colleges, with 90% graduating.

Volunteers meet with students on Saturdays on Alberta, next door to Eliot in the King neighborhood. Sign up for a coffee chat to learn more about what it’s like to volunteer, or fill out an online application if you’re ready to get started today!

On a personal note, I have also been volunteering as a mentor with Minds Matter for the past 3 years, and have found it an incredibly rewarding journey. If you’d like to hear more about my personal experience, please email serena@eliotneighborhood.org.
