Program Details
Student Leaders for PB is a two-phase leadership development program for students in East Multnomah County school districts. Our program is centered on developing student leaders to lead the charge for bringing participatory budgeting to their campus!
​
The first phase was in 2024 and employed 8 student leaders to conduct participatory research among peers and school leadership. The result was developing a readiness assessment for each campus, measuring their systems in place that could support a PB process.
​
We are launching phase 2 by employing 4 student leaders to organize their peers and work with them to develop formal recommendations on how they want PB to look at their schools. These recommendations will support our 2025 legislative priorities on launching school-based PB.
​Interested in organizing your peers and working together to determine how you want PB to look in your school? Apply now gain leadership skills and hands-on experience in organizing to bring participatory budgeting (PB) to your school campus.
Receive $20/hr for a total of 100 hours over a 6 month period!
