Getting Started as a Volunteer

In Fiscal Year 2011, more than 840 dedicated volunteers stepped up for CCA. CCA’s volunteer program has also received national recognition receiving the 2010 Oregon Mentor Match of the Year Award, the 2008 Hearts of the Community Award for Volunteer Innovation and the 2004 National Family Volunteer Award from the National Points of Light Foundation.

Whether you want to volunteer alone or with your family, on a corporate team or with a student group, CCA has a fulfilling opportunity for you. From playing soothing music in the hospital hallways to forging a friendship with a child undergoing chemotherapy, CCA’s volunteers get as much as they give with their generous donations of time, passion and compassion.

To learn more about volunteering for our programs and special events or supporting CCA with administrative help or leadership, please email us or complete our volunteer application (PDF). Once you have submitted an application, you will be contacted by the Volunteer Coordinator.

Please Note: You must first submit a volunteer application and accept an invitation from the Volunteer Program Coordinator to attend orientation meetings.  Thank you.

Orientation meetings last approximately one hour and take place at the CCA office located at 433 NW 4th Avenue, Suite 100, Portland, OR, 97209. View Google Map
