adidas Community Lab
Empowering equitable access to sports in Portland. Let’s build tomorrow together!
Attention all innovative entrepreneurs in Portland, Oregon, and surrounding areas! adidas is proud to unveil the adidas Community Lab Social Impact Accelerator – incubating ideas for progress driven by a love for community and a desire to create change.
Challenging the status quo to create positive change
The adidas Community Lab, in collaboration with Impact Hub, is a pioneering initiative aimed at amplifying Black and Latinx entrepreneurs in Portland who are passionate about fostering equitable access to sports.

Beyond skill acquisition, participants benefit from significant funding, reinforcing adidas’s commitment to dismantling systemic barriers faced by rising Black and Latinx change-makers and cementing its dedication to positive change through sport.
