This isn’t just free work
Portland Digital Corps was created to solve two real problems:
- Tech workers need a better way to stay sharp, visible, and connected.
- Nonprofits and community orgs have digital problems they can’t afford to solve.
So we meet in the middle. Real teams. Scoped challenges. Public benefit. Together, we build.
Each project is designed to be short, focused, and impactful. You’ll walk away with:
- Credible work you can actually talk about in a portfolio or interview
- Team-based experience shipping something under real-world conditions
- A chance to give back, meet good people, and reconnect with the work
This is not:
- An ongoing nonprofit or startup
- A gig economy job board
- Free work for for-profit companies
This is a pop-up civic tech crew. You sign up, scope it, build it, and move on. That’s the pitch.
