Welcome to City Club of Central Oregon

Our mission is “to build a conscious and civic minded community through dialog, education and research that results in responsible civic engagement.” As a 501 ©3 non-profit, we are led by the City Club of Central Oregon board of directors, the executive director and our committees. While we are based in Bend, Oregon many of our programs focus on issues impacting Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties. At City Club of Central Oregon, we are committed to fostering an environment of civility that welcomes everyone. Uniqueness is powerful and being inclusive allows us to build conscious and civic-minded community through dialogue, education and research.
