Volunteering

Oregon Partnership is always on the lookout for committed volunteers of all ages. Bring your experience and interests to one of our program areas, and make a positive difference in someone¹s life. Here are some of the areas where you can help:_.

Crisis Lines - Suicide Prevention:  Enroll in our HelpLine/LifeLine training program; learn to answer calls on our 24-hour confidential service. Oregon Partnership holds Crisis Lines volunteer orientations on the third Tuesday of the month at noon, and the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm._.

Volunteer on our new Military Helpline, bridging the access-to-service gap that military service members, veterans and their families face.

Click here to download the Volunteer Application forms and return them via e-mail or in person during an orientation meeting.  For questions and concerns, please call 503-244-5211 and ask for a Crisis Lines Staff Person.

YouthLine:  Are you a teen interested in learning about substance abuse issues? Take calls on our peer YouthLine. Find out what it means when we say this program is about "Teens Helping Teens".

Education Programs:
