Volunteer & Internship Opportunities

If you are a high school or college student in the Portland metro area and are interested in being a positive influence in your community, we would love to hear from you! We offer great volunteer and internship (both volunteer and paid) opportunities:

  • Be a part of our Youth Team! Help facilitate small groups, play games, and be a role model for one of our many programs.
