Description:	'''Employment/Training''' ''624 NE Couch Street, Portland, OR 97209'' ''https://www.groundscoreassociation.org/'' Ground Score Association is an association of informal recyclers, waste pickers, canners, dumpster divers, and other environmental workers who create and fill low-barrier waste management jobs in Portland, Oregon. Ground Score is collectively-organized and radically inclusive, prioritizing work opportunities for those facing work and housing insecurity. Ground Score seeks to build a more environmentally and socially aware community while changing society's perceptions of what and who is considered valuable. '''Ground Score Leading Inclusively Together Through Environmental Recovery or''' '''G.L.I.T.T.E.R.''' provides litter collection and tent-side waste collection services for houseless camps across the Portland Metro Region. It ensures sanitation for those who would otherwise lack access to them and keeps our city's streets and sidewalks clean for all. The '''People's Depot''' is Ground Score's beverage redemption center operated for canners, by canners. The People's Depot generates formal, benefitted jobs for workers, serves hundreds of canners a week in the Central Eastside, and prevents the emission of hundreds of tons of CO2 equivalent (greenhouse gases) a year. Ground Score's '''Reuse Team''' offers a '''Sewing Program''' for low-barrier learning in the recovery, reuse and repair of textiles. Most materials come from GSA’s waste collection routes and community partners. This program is fundraising towards a fully- functioning eco-production studio. Ground Score operates special programs to serve community members. They currently provide day storage, connect unhoused neighbors living unsheltered in Old Town with supportive housing, and conduct environmental and health outreach in partnership with other local organizations.
