Great Volunteer Organization in Greater PortlandPosted on | August 25, 2010 Need some inspiration to get involved in your community? www.handsonportland.org connects volunteers with people in need of help in the greater Portland, Oregon area. You can help someone build their house, tutor a child, drive seniors to the movies, care for an abandoned pet, build a hiking trail, paint someone’s house, or any other thing. They seem very open to suggestions as well. The website is really easy to use. There is a calendar so you can search what’s going on by dates, which can also be filtered by your age, what you want to do, who you want to work with, or your capabilities. You can also search through what is available by your location and be contacted when more opportunities come to your area. Through their contact page, you can call them or e-mail to let them know if you need help with something or would like to volunteer. What a great organization! Even if you’re not in the Portland area, this organization is a great idea. If there isn’t something like this in your area, use this as an inspiration! Click here to see about qualifying.
