Oregon Parks and Recreation Deparment's Volunteer Services Division is supported through two full time Volunteer Services Coordinators located in the Salem HQ office. An army of field staff around the state work directly with most of our amazing volunteers.

We have several formalized volunteer programs designed to create great experiences for our volunteers and to extend the reach of our Department beyond what we could do without you. We invite you to explore the programs listed on this site and see which program is best for you.

The links in this section will take you to the Volunteer Applications and program specific forms that you need to get started volunteering in some of the most special places in Oregon.
