  • New College Partner for Urban Service Track
    Portland Leadership Foundation is thrilled to announce that Warner Pacific College has joined the Portland Act Six initiative as a partner in the innovative Act Six Urban Service Track.  Portland students can apply to gain two years of street-level urban service experience with local non-profits in Portland while earning an associate's degree at Portland Community College before transferring to Warner Pacific to earn their bachelor's degree.  Warner Pacific joins George Fox University in providing an incredible educational opportunity to our region's emerging urban leaders.  Learn more by comparing the two Act Six tracks.
