Volunteer — Together We Serve

Like so many other non-profit organizations that serve the state of Oregon – it takes a village. The Heart Work that the internal Team at ALSO delivers is exceptional and always offered with a commitment to excellence.

But more community support and involvement is needed. With the support of volunteers – we can work together to boost the total value of every ALSO support system and program. We invite anyone to help us achieve our mission. Join us to support the full inclusion of people experiencing disabilities. 

We’re all in this together. Become a volunteer by joining our village of dedicated humans and make a real difference to help us deliver on the promise of making sure everyone has the same opportunities in their home, workplace and community.
