The Portland Children's Levy (PCL) invests proceeds of a local option property tax levy in proven programs for children and their families through competitive grant processes. PCL grew out of a need to increase opportunity for all Portland's children. PCL invests in community-based programs working to eliminate structural inequities faced by families and children of color, low-income families, and children/youth with disabilities. PCL supports environments where children's race, ethnicity, disability, gender, and income do not determine their well-being and school success. We promote and foster an internal culture that supports equity, diversity, and inclusion in all of our interactions. PCL encourages candidates with knowledge, ability, and experience working with a broad range of individuals and diverse communities to apply. Although not required, PCL encourages candidates who can fluently speak more than one language to include that information in their resume.
