About Us

Seeds for Change seeks to undermine all forms of exploitation and oppression by inviting individuals to explore their most deeply held beliefs about themselves, other cultures, other species and the planet. Always positive and hopeful, Seeds for Change addresses fundamental questions in a non-judgmental and positive atmosphere.

Our dynamic, thought-provoking presentations encourage participation and critical thinking by combining lively discussions with short videos, visual aids, and activities. For sample activities, please contact Seeds for Change at PortlandHumaneEducation.org

Discussions are also designed to encourage participants to get involved in the community by spending their time on volunteer opportunities and service-learning/community service projects.
