Thank you for your interest in contributing your time and talent to support Volunteers of America Oregon’s mission and the people we serve. Every year, hundreds of community members like you put their passion to work through 15,000 hours of enhancing relationships with children and youth, encouraging people to rebuild their lives after addiction and incarceration, and supporting our general operations.
With so many programs, projects, and positions to choose from, we’re confident that we can find a meaningful way for you to get involved in the social cause you care about most. And with our centralized placement services, you will have someone supporting you every step of the way.
Double Your Impact! Did you know that on average, 1 in 10 companies match employee contributions of volunteer time? If you volunteer with us, your employer may provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support. We encourage you to check with your employer and take advantage of this opportunity to double your impact!
