Social: In times like these, it is important for people to relate to and interact with one another and with their community in ways that are healthy and fun.
Impact: It is increasingly important for our actions to affect one another and the spaces we inhabit in positive ways.
Jam: When music, dance, food, and performance are a part of our interactions, creative expression is encouraged, moods are elevated, relationships are strengthened, and community bonds are formed.

Social Impact Jam is an event series held in rotating public locations throughout Portland. Participants work to improve public spaces while guest DJs play music and guest artists paint portraits. There is a self-care station with delicious, healthy snacks, an area with places to sit and rest, and other self-care activities available. Each event culminates in a dance party where participants come together to celebrate their shared effort and positive impact on the space!

COVID protocols: The events are held outside to reduce risk and follow CDC guidelines regarding infection prevention.

Partnerships: Eco-munity is partnering with SOLVE and Portland Parks and Recreation, and is supported by Precipitation NorthWest and Burners Without Borders.
