Welcome to

Colorful text spelling 'Family' and 'Friend' with each letter in a different color on a white background.

Connect. Support. Grow.

Parenting isn’t meant to be done alone - so we’re creating a supportive, intentional space for Portland parents to work, play, connect and create lasting friendships with other caregivers.

Family Friend is a new kind of community, a place where families and childcare providers can share a table, connect, learn, and thrive together.

We’re popping up around Portland and engaging with families and people who work with kids through fun events and activations, all while working toward our future physical space on the east side of Portland.

Once we’re settled into a space, we’ll have relaxing area for parent & caregiver meetups, workshops and coworking, as well as creative programming and play spaces designed for children aged 0 to 10. In the meantime we’re bringing families together through workshops, play, and a founding membership circle that will help shape what comes next.

Family Friend is here to help you and your family find your people in Portland.

Within our growing community you’ll find:

A trusted network of local parents and childcare providers

Kid-friendly events and creative, engaging, hands-on programming

Coworking and networking opportunities for parents and childcare providers

A private caregiver community for grandparents, nannies and sitters

A real voice in building the future Family Friend space

Family Friend is more than a parent group, it’s a community designed for real families, with connection and support at its core.
