Volunteer: Volunteer Event Planner for Local Girl Scout Troops - NOT Troop Leader

Dive into the excitement as a Volunteer Event Planner for our dynamic Girl Scout troops! You’ll have a blast designing and coordinating 3-4 unforgettable events each year, like the dazzling World Thinking Day, the electrifying Annual Cookie Rally, and possibly a thrilling fall or spring day camp. Imagine creating joyful experiences for girls of all ages, buzzing with Girl Scout spirit, while focusing purely on planning—you are not responsible for supervising individual girls or managing troops, as those roles are handled by separate chaperones and troop leaders.

Your mission is to bring creative ideas to life, attending fun monthly planning meetings (about 1-2 hours) to brainstorm and organize. You may join a few extra meetings closer to event dates to perfect every detail. On event days—typically action-packed Saturdays—you’ll oversee the magic for 4-5 hours, ensuring everything runs smoothly while the girls shine. If you’re bursting with creativity, love planning, and want to spark Girl Scout adventures, this is your dream role!

Time commitment: ~2 hours/month for meetings, plus 4-5 hours on event days. You can support without attending event. Background Check and Girl Scout Membership Require. Join us and make unforgettable memories!

HELP US REACH MORE SENIORS SHARE OUR PROGRAM WITH A CARE FACILITY

Do you know someone who works at a nursing home, assisted living facility, Meals on Wheels program, hospice, or senior center? We’d love your help spreading the word about Letters Against Isolation!

Our volunteers send friendly, handwritten letters to seniors who are at risk of feeling lonely or disconnected. Since 2020, we’ve mailed over one million letters in more than 40 languages.

We’re actively expanding our outreach in Oregon and looking for senior programs that would benefit from receiving kind, personal mail.

Refer a Care Facility Read Our Story

Please don’t sign up on a facility’s behalf. An activity director, volunteer coordinator, program manager or other staff member must complete the request form themselves.

If you're personally connected to a facility (as a volunteer, employee, or family member), we encourage you to reach out to them and share our website!

HELP US REACH MORE SENIORS SHARE OUR PROGRAM WITH A CARE FACILITY

Do you know someone who works at a nursing home, assisted living facility, Meals on Wheels program, hospice, or senior center? We’d love your help spreading the word about Letters Against Isolation!

Our volunteers send friendly, handwritten letters to seniors who are at risk of feeling lonely or disconnected. Since 2020, we’ve mailed over one million letters in more than 40 languages.

We’re actively expanding our outreach in Oregon and looking for senior programs that would benefit from receiving kind, personal mail.

Please don’t sign up on a facility’s behalf. An activity director, volunteer coordinator, program manager or other staff member must complete the request form themselves.

If you're personally connected to a facility (as a volunteer, employee, or family member), we encourage you to reach out to them and share our website!

Volunteer: Hospice Patient Care Volunteering

Have you ever wondered about other people's stories or lives? Perhaps you'd like to chat with someone about their life and all of their experiences they've had to shape them into the person they've become today. We all live such different lives, and no matter how long we live, it's never long enough. 

Hospice volunteers are so lucky to be able to spend time with our patients, socializing and learning about patient lives, or sometimes just providing the patient's caregiver respite while their loved one sleeps. Either way, the volunteer is highly valued.

Do you enjoy gardening? Do you have a big heart you’d like to share with others by visiting or just sitting down to hold someone's hand? Are you a Veteran? Do you enjoy reading or writing? Would you like to provide caregivers of loved ones a break to go for a walk or just leave the house for a short while? Do you play music? Enjoy cleaning? Do you have a special talent or hobby you would like to share with others in their last days, weeks, or months of life? Prefer office-type work? We have a need for help with that, too!

Walla Walla Community Hospice is looking for volunteers in Walla Walla, Columbia, and Umatilla Counties!

It is meant to help organizations take stock of where they are at and daylight a way forward.

Grounded in the Five Elements of a Healthy Nonprofit Assessment, Pathways helps organizations reflect on their own ability to:

Pathways consultants work in teams of two to:

Facilitate the self-assessment process and help an organization come to a consensus on where they are in regards to each of the five elements Discuss easily addressed opportunities and help the organization determine priorities for additional consultation Refer to curated recommendations in addition to doing a little research of their own to compose tailored suggestions to help the organization move the needle in a positive way

The entire Pathways process includes a series of four meetings held over the course of 2-3 months and approximately 25 hours of service per consultant.

Volunteer: Responding to Hail Damage

A storm traveled from the west toward Wallowa on Aug. 11, with some hail reported as large as golf balls and even baseballs in certain areas of Wallowa County and winds up to 50 mph, according to media accounts.

While many community organizations have banded together, the northeast Oregon community of around 800 people does not have the financial resources to support repairs and recovery, Governor Brown said in a news release.

The city of Wallowa is a small, remote rural community with many low-income community members that live on fixed incomes, and many are either uninsured or underinsured.

The BMLTRG is seeking individual volunteers and team volunteers to fill roles that vary from meeting with survivors to documenting needs to hands-on roofing, siding, window installation, to installing insulation. We are seeking teenagers (with appropriate supervision) to individuals skilled in the trades.

By responding to this general post we will contact you to see what the best fits are. As specific needs are identified over the next week we will be posting specific volunteer days and times for individuals but we can customize group team dates.

Thank you in advance!

Volunteer: Adult Day Center Volunteer

Volunteer opportunities are always available at the Walla Walla Adult Day Center (ADC). Our volunteers share a bit of their daily lives with us, and we could not be any more grateful. There are no mandated hours to be a volunteer, volunteers share their time according to their availability. It does not matter whether your availability is once a week for one hour or four times a week for the full six hours of the program, we'd love to have you. To become a Walla Walla ADC volunteer there are just a few prerequisites: being a listening ear, a watchful eye and having a caring attitude.

Having six daily program hours doesn't seem like much. However, when you take those six hours and multiply it by the number of participants attending on any particular day, days could turn into a whirlwind if help is not steadily available. Our daily average of 10 to 15 participants equals out to be between 60 and 90 hours of daily "supervision", socialization, engagement, and social work services. Help is always needed and welcomed.

Program hours: 9am-3pm. Monday through Thursday.

 

Feel free to apply through this site, or contact us at (509)527-3775 Ext. 3
