Noggin is returning to P:ear, a remarkable Portland nonprofit aimed at building positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education, art and recreation to affirm their personal worth and help them create more meaningful and healthier lives.

We are excited to communicate science through the extraordinary volunteer efforts of our talented graduate and undergraduate Noggin participants from Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and other collaborators.!

Learning about brains and behavior, and genuine, evidence-based structural and functional aspects of who we are is powerful and actionable information for everyone, including those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, drug use disorders, bias, chronic stress, insomnia  –  as well as poverty, isolation, racism, homophobia and our region’s extreme lack of affordable housing.

Come join us!

This fall we’re collaborating with students and Biology teachers at Fort Vancouver High School! Fort students are coming to listen, learn and act to create bags of essential and useful supplies for youth without access to safe, secure housing. They join us on October 6, and then again on October 20 to distribute the items they organize and prepare.
