Marketing is not just a tool—it brings people together and creates community. We have learned and grown within these agency teams. Let’s amplify our voices, share what we’ve learned, and celebrate our community—together.

More About AMA PDX Agency

This event is hosted by the AMA PDX Agency. Since 2007, our program has successfully matched groups of volunteers with local community organizations to execute a 6-month marketing consulting project. AMA PDX Agency gives volunteers the opportunity to grow their skill set and give back to the community, and in return, regional community organizations can leverage local marketing talent, develop richer volunteer and donor bases, and evolve their marketing strategies.

Meet this year's community organizations

We are thrilled to have worked with three incredible education-based organizations for the 2025 AMA PDX Agency projects:

Portland Fruit Tree Project is tackling food insecurity by harvesting and redistributing fresh fruit to local families. Through volunteer-powered harvests and community orchard projects, they ensure that surplus produce doesn’t go to waste but instead nourishes those who need it most. With our pro bono marketing support, they’re strengthening their brand storytelling and growing their volunteer network.

Playworks Pacific Northwest believes in the power of play to transform schools, build social-emotional skills, and create inclusive environments for kids. By fostering active, collaborative recess spaces, they help students feel included, develop leadership skills, and build lifelong healthy habits. Our support will help them refine their outreach strategy and expand their impact across the region.

Lloyd EcoDistrict is transforming the Lloyd neighborhood into a model for sustainable urban living. From community-led green space restoration to energy efficiency workshops, their work demonstrates how urban spaces can flourish while addressing environmental challenges. Our team is helping them amplify their outreach and engagement strategies.

Wonderfolk is dedicated to breaking down systemic barriers for BIPOC youth through leadership training, environmental engagement, and arts activism. Their programs provide hands-on experiences that build confidence and equip young changemakers with the tools they need to thrive. With our support, they’re refining their messaging to reach more young changemakers and expand their mentorship programs.
