THANK YOU FOR EXPLORING OUR WEBSITE AND JOINING OUR EMAIL LIST

Human Access Project (HAP) is a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon founded in 2010. Our role in the community is catalyzing cultural change around how people feel about and interact with the Willamette River. We want the community to view the Willamette River as an asset, something to be valued and protected. We want to foster and drive a connection between the people of Portland and the river that runs through our community. As such, our goals include improving Willamette River edge spaces for recreation, developing creative activation/programming around these spaces, fostering environmental stewardship, community investment and connection with these spaces, and identifying and removing barriers to people feeling comfortable interacting with the river. Our target market is people for whom the Willamette River is their closest natural body of water and who live within five miles of the Willamette River.
