ONE DAY: Gorgeous Hood to Hood Relay Race | Sunday, June 9

Volunteers are needed for directing, driving, and encouraging racers, not to mention helping them celebrate post race! Plus, for each volunteer who signs up through Mazamas, a $100 donation will be made to the Mazama Mountain Science School, which helps get kids from Portland into their natural backyard at the Lodge.

Sign up today!

ONGOING—Once a WEEK: Office Volunteers

Are you looking for a fun and interactive way to get to know the Mazama community and programming better? Do you find yourself with free time during the week? Apply today to be a Mazama Office Volunteer! Office Volunteers support staff with everything from answering phones and emails to organizing supplies and helping to manage our database. At the Mazama Mountaineering Center, Office Volunteers are often the first face, and voice, that members and nonmembers interact with, so if you are a friendly person who’s looking to share their inspiration to love and protect the mountains, we want you!   
Apply at tinyurl.com/mmcofficevolunteer.

SHORT DURATION—1 to 3 days: Tech Volunteer

We have old desktop and laptop computers that need to have their hardrives removed and then taken to Free Geek. Appx. 10 computers. Hard drives need to be removed and drilled. Email volunteer@mazamas.org.

ONGOING—Varies: MMC Facilities Volunteer

Looking for a different kind of volunteer opportunity with the Mazamas? Want to get a deeper look behind the scenes about how to keep the Mazama Mountaineering Center up and running? Want to learn all you’d ever want to know (and possibly more) about the current state of recycling? Well, we’ve got the volunteer niche for you! Our Building Manager, Rick Craycraft, needs help! The flexibility of this commitment is almost open-ended. We will provide training, possibly hand off certain responsibilities directly and work with you to find out how your interest level and skills can be put to use in the service of our organization.

We are currently especially in need of:

• volunteer with exterior paint experience
• yard work volunteers (pull weeds, mow, general beautification etc.)

Please email leftfield5@juno.com if you would like to volunteer. 

Youth Outreach Volunteer

Do you enjoy working with youth? Do you enjoy climbing and sharing that passion with others? The Mazamas Youth Outreach Climbing program is in need of volunteer belayers and climbing instructors at Youth Outreach Climbing events. These events occur periodically, predominantly in winter and spring, all days of the week, and all hours of the day. Sign up for one, or for many! Contact molly@mazamas.org to learn more.
