This Volunteers’ Week, we’d like to start the week by showcasing some of our incredible volunteers and the many different ways they support our community.

Our volunteers make a difference across so many areas, including activity support, education, the farm, fundraising, maintenance and hospitality.

Every volunteer plays an important role in creating opportunities, experiences and support for the people we work with, and we’re so grateful for everything they do.

If you would like to volunteer your time at Portland, there's no expectation on how frequent, or how long you commit to us. Get in touch today and we can start your journey to making a difference.
