About
Other Ways to Get Involved and Get Assistance
We encourage everyone applying for funds or interested in getting more involved in community solidarity work to join the Portland Collaborative Exchange Network. The Portland Collaborative Exchange Network (PCEN) is a mutual support network of people engaged in reciprocal exchange of services, skills, and goods through a timebank where the currency is an hour of time for everyone. It is a project of Symbiosis PDX, although other organizations are encouraged to partner with us and join.
Through membership in PCEN people: create and strengthen community bonds, create economic freedom by providing an alternative means to get needs and desires met, and encourage creativity in redefining self-sufficiency, interdependence and valuation of time.
