Advocating Across Generations


Through his work with Boy Scouts of America, Portland Community College (PCC) Foundation, and Western Seminary, advisor Ron Wilkinson focuses on the next generation, as well as their adult counterparts, by integrating his values of education, life planning, and leading a positive spiritual life.


Serving in fundraising, committee, and ground level support roles in all organizations, Ron feels leadership training, life skills, personal management, and the overarching message of teaching youth and emerging adults to live a positive life are key reasons for his involvement.


“I believe an educated community is an economically viable one. A spiritually trained community has personal positive transformation at its core and the programs I am involved with open young adults and adults eyes to possibilities, and prepares them, gives second chances, – and sometimes, first chances – at education and hope. These venues allow me the opportunity to be their advocate.”

“Giving allows me to practice doing what Jesus would do. It connects me to those I serve, and gives me a type of satisfaction that self-interest can never offer.”
