We exist to empower leaders and mobilize community for the common good

06/09/2025

10 years ago, when we went all in to build The Script, we did so with a conviction that the best way to build the best version of Oregon was to empower underrepresented leaders.

Tomorrow, we'll be sharing some news about how we have removed all barriers for companies to hire the best of Oregon's underrepresented talent.

We know the market is volatile. We know entry-level jobs are becoming more rare. Now is not the time to let the invisible hand of the market discourage us. No, instead, we must go all in again.

Sign your company, organization, or government agency up to join The Script and hire Oregon's best at: www.thescript.org
