Upcoming Opportunities

Are you new in town and looking to meet other recent transplants? Or are you just aching to get to know the city a little bit better? Then this is the volunteer team for you!

In TeamWorks, we will explore a few of Portland’s cultural and historic hotspots, as well as its non-profit community, to delve into some of the most vibrant aspects of PDX life. We’ll spruce up Mt. Tabor Park, help out at the historic Hollywood Theatre, salvage building materials at the ReBuilding Center, and do some gardening at the Oregon Food Bank Learning Gardens.
