FSP has retired!
We appreciate your interest in First Stop Portland's study tours, but as of May 2023, PSU will no longer be providing this program. Since 2009, we have had the privilege of serving numerous delegations from the U.S. and abroad. We are grateful for your continued support over the years and share your enthusiasm for Portland's sustainability practices.
Although FSP is retired, our staff will continue to work at the Center for Public Service and offer numerous leadership development training programs. If you have any inquiries regarding CPS' leadership development training programs, please feel free to visit our website at: https://www.pdx.edu/center-for-public-service/
Thank you!

What is First Stop Portland?
We custom-design Study Tours for delegations visiting Portland, Oregon, USA to learn about our unique strategies for creating a vibrant, sustainable city. Our programs were tailored to address each delegation's particular area of interest or concern. We connected visitors with Portland's experts, leaders, and innovators in business, politics, and research-- the people who can share "The Portland Story" best because they wrote it.
