    Description

    We're on the lookout for fun, friendly volunteers to help with our remote office (Mon-Fri)!

    Us: River West Village is like a neighborhood dream team for older adults in SW Portland. As part of a national Village Movement, we're all about helping folks stay safe, independent, and happy in their own homes - without losing that sense of connection. From lively events to cozy social gatherings, we bring neighbors together, spark new friendships, and make aging-in-place feel a lot more like thriving-in-place.

    Responsibilities:

    • Monitor incoming requests: Check and respond to all emails and phone messages on your assigned weekday.
    • Enter service requests: Log requests into our system and notify volunteers for follow-up
    • Build connections: Get to know Village members and volunteers while helping match needs with helping hands
    • Flexible time commitment: Weekly workload varies, some weeks may be just 1 hour, others up to 2-4 hours a week
    • Make a difference: Play a crucial role in supporting older adults (55+) who want to age safely and independently at home

    You:

    • Good vibes
    • You are part human, part tech support
    • Make the world a better place - one unpaid shift at a time
    • Copy-paste powers and a strong love for color-coded calendars

    Perks:

    • Unlimited gratitude
    • Bragging Rights
    • Cupcakes
    • High-fives

    Ready to Join the (Not -So=Secret) Mission?

    Before you can officially become part of our Village volunteer dream team, there are just a few quick steps to make it all official:

    • Confidentiality Agreement: Because what happens in the Village...stays in the Village.
    • Background Check: We promise, it's painless - no fingerprints, lie detectors, or spy gear required.
    • Volunteer Training: A quick crash course in all things awesome, so you're prepped and ready to help like a pro.

    Once those are done, you'll be ready to jump in and make a difference - cape optional, kindness required.
