Community & Events
One of the things we love most about our hostel is how it serves as a community hub. We host events such as walking tours, board game & movie nights, trivia, and more! If your group is interested, feel free to let us know, and we’ll be happy to share upcoming activities.
Volunteering & Sightseeing
If your group is interested in volunteering or exploring Portland, we can connect you with opportunities supporting causes like homelessness, hunger, and environmental conservation through organizations like Blanchet House, Rose Haven, Portland Parks, and SOLVE. For sightseeing, we recommend our city walking tour, day trips to Multnomah Falls or the Oregon Coast, and visits to the Oregon Zoo and OMSI. We can also suggest free things to see and do around the city. Let us know what interests you, and we’ll help make it happen!
