Want to get involved in the community, but simply don’t know where to start or what’s available?
We created the
NextGen Jewish Community Educational Evening
just for you.
On April 30th, we’re gathering The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, our partner agencies, congregations, and other Jewish organizations at the Eastside Jewish Commons to showcase exactly what’s out there for the 21–45 crowd. Whether you've lived here for three days or thirty years, come discover the spaces, places, and causes that are ready to welcome you.
When: Thursday, April 30, 2026
Where: Eastside Jewish Commons | 2420 NE Sandy Blvd, 97232
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Cost: FREE (Drinks, appetizers & snacks provided!)
The Fun: Tour our partner organizations, featuring a raffle for participating
Our Goal: To ensure every young adult in Portland knows they have a seat at the table. You'll leave with a clear roadmap of how to get involved, lead, and grow in the community you call home.
