Oregon Volunteers


  • About Us

    Oregon Volunteers, also known as the Commission for Voluntary Action & Service, was created in 1994 to provide Oregonians with a statewide entity to focus service and volunteer efforts, to enhance the ethic of service and voluntarism in the state, and provide funds for state-based AmeriCorps programs. As a state commission, Oregon Volunteers’ role is to promote and elevate service, volunteerism and civic engagement in Oregon Communities. 

    The Commission’s work is supported and advised by a maximum-25 member board of Governor-appointed commissioners.
