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!

Salesforce Specialist

Do you work with Salesforce in your daily life? Would you consider yourself to be intermediate or advanced with writing reports and adding rollups? Are you interested in volunteering your time with the Mazamas? Then we are interested in talking with you about how you could assist us in maximizing our new database. Email volunteer@mazamas.org if interested.

Layout & Design Specialist

We are looking for someone to take on the work of layout and design of our monthly publication. The appropriate candidate should have: experience with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop; familiarity with the Mazamas; copy editing skills; ability to work under a tight deadline. Candidate must have their own computer and subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. Email volunteer@mazamas.org if interested.

Photo Project

We have 15 years of digital photos from the Bulletin that need naming, tagging, and filing. Once trained and provided with the files, this is a task that can be done remotely. Email volunteer@mazamas.org if interested.

Library & Archive Assistants

Library assistants help move library books back into circulation, which includes sorting materials, verifying the order of books on shelves, and other tasks. Archive assistants help with processing, preservation, and reference requests. Volunteers should have an interest in mountaineering history, basic computer skills, and a willingness to do repetitive tasks, including putting items into alphabetical, numerical, and chronological order. Experience with standard library and archival practices help, but not required. Please contact Mathew Brock, Mazama Library and Historical Collections at mathew@mazamas.org to learn more. 

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. Please email leftfield5@juno.com. 

Bulletin Delivery Driver

We are in need of a small team of volunteers to take on the task of delivering the monthly Bulletins to our local partners. Deliveries take place during the first week of the month and, if done alone, the route takes about 3 hours to complete. Volunteers must have their own means of transportation, but will be eligible for parking meter and mileage reimbursements. Please contact kelsey@mazamas.org if you are interested. 

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.
