Bridge-Pamoja was established in 2019 as a network of black faith leaders and culturally specific organizations and leaders serving Africans and African-Americans in the Portland area.

Bridge-Pamoja creates an interface for populations representing the African diaspora and Africa. This community-driven program is derived through grassroots, word-of-mouth communication. It emerged from conversations taking place at culturally specific partner agencies and houses of worship who represent the impacted communities.
