Is PDX Bridge for me?

  • Are you graduating from an alternative high school program? Or,
  • Do you have experience in the foster care system, the juvenile justice system, or have you faced housing insecurity?
  • Do you have the desire to commit to college classes at Portland Community College?

What does PDX Bridge offer?

  • Coaching: We are here to help you navigate the steps to start at PCC, provide resources to help you succeed, and answer your questions along the way.
  • Resources: We can assess what funding sources you are eligible for, whether assistance with books, supplies, transportation, or emergency funds.
