PKV Awarded Portland Parks Foundation Grant
Students explore Mt. Tabor Park at summer camp
Do you love striding, vaulting, and balancing on the low walls at Irving Park? Do you dream of underbars and cat leaps at Mt. Tabor? PKV loves our parks, and Portland is home to some of the best.
PKV classes provide a structured environment for students to learn how to stay safe and have fun exploring our public spaces. Portland Parks Foundation recognized the incredible benefit PKV and parkour bring to our community and provided a $2,000 grant for scholarships for Portland families. This grant helps ensure cost is not a barrier to lifelong healthy movement.
“This grant will allow us to increase our scholarship offerings for students so that more people can have access to parkour. ”
We are a nonprofit that uses parkour to increase the accessibility of outdoor recreation and play. This is particularly important for groups historically marginalized from outdoor recreation and sports, including queer folks, BIPOC, disabled people, women, and girls. Our classes help introduce a movement students can practice for life in welcoming online and in-person environments. Practitioners do not need any specialized or expensive equipment and develop a fulfilling way to connect to our outdoor spaces.
Thanks to Portland Parks Foundation for helping provide more students with a greater connection to our shared spaces and healthy lifelong movement. Learn more about the Portland Parks Foundation Small Grants Program.
