Oregon’s Kitchen Table Project Teams

Each Oregon’s Kitchen Table brings a set of unique needs and characteristics, depending on the topic, the scope, and the impacted communities. For each project, we assemble a project team that includes OKT staff as well as people with different skills and expertise that will meet project and community needs. We often work with a team of multilingual and multicultural facilitators, community organizers, translators, interpreters, graphic designers, student interns, and PSU faculty and staff. Many of our partners and consultants have been part of OKT teams for many years and on many projects.
