ed by the North and Northeast
Portland Business Association to
honor the civil rights legacy of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. while

group’s Fellows Youth Career
Internship Program, which helps
young people, ages 16-26, to be-
come entrepreneurs and future
owners of their own successful
businesses.
The NNEBA also works with
the Summer Works program in
providing young adults with job
experience, including work to
help produce the MLK Dream
Run.
All of the events take place

in the heart of Portland’s Soul
