Press Room

Volunteers of America Oregon is a nonprofit behavioral health and social services organization. We support individuals and families as they heal from addiction, violence, and poverty.

Since 1896, we have been empowering individuals, families, and communities in Oregon including the aging population, young people, men and women returning from prison, people with disabilities, domestic violence survivors, and those recovering from addictions. Our work touches the mind, body, heart – and ultimately the spirit – of those we serve, integrating our deep compassion with highly effective, evidence-based, trauma-informed programs and services.

Safer Communities

Our services and community partnerships provide supportive interventions for people coming home or being monitored in the community and changing their behaviors to avoid returning to jail or prison.

We are also committed to reaching survivors of domestic and sexual violence in our community. We provide emergency services, legal advocacy, housing services, and more, which reduces the barriers to domestic and sexual violence support services.
