As a core part of the Portland Community Engagement System, NECN serves as one of seven district coalitions advancing neighborhood livability through inclusive civic engagement. Our organization is set up as an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit for more opportunities to respond to community needs. We believe in creating healthy communities by engaging citizens to become directly involved in determining how their neighborhood evolves.
We invite all North and Northeast residents to become an active part of their neighborhoods at the association or coalition level!
