About
Step 5 Productions is a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon originally founded by five young adults. Passionate about making a difference in the local community, Step 5 focuses on giving back to local charities by raising awareness to different issues involving the community. Through volunteering, planning, and hosting events, Step 5 aims to bridge the gap between a network of young adults with an older more established group of professionals and volunteers.
