Punx With Purpose is a non-profit organization in Salem, Oregon that focuses on supporting our community’s at-risk youth.
Our Mission: “Punx With Purpose provides first hand perspective on the challenges threatening our youth today. Peers with lived experience will empower the youth of Marion and Polk Counties by meeting them where they are. PWP seeks to create community and provide safer spaces where our youth can gather and receive the resources they need to succeed as they grow into functional community members.”
PWP puts on events and resource pop-ups in Polk and Marion Counties to connect youths ages 11-18 with resources. Our largest event is the annual PUNX IN THE PARK RESOURCE FAIR AND CONCERT in Salem, Oregon in the Fall.
PWP houses a drop-in location known as Stormie’s Place (see their separate Out & Safe listing), providing food boxes, clothing, hygiene supplies and other resources.
