Mazamas partners with youth-serving groups in the Portland area to offer climbing education and experiences to youth of all ages. This program is largely run by volunteers. Volunteers provide belaying, climbing instruction, and mentoring to young climbers. Volunteers are welcome to join for a single event or for many. Volunteer shift times vary, including weekends and weekdays, during typical business hours as well as evenings.
Interested in volunteering? In order to volunteer, we require that volunteers complete the following items prior to their first shift:
Background Check (cost-free to volunteers)
Read, understand, and agree to the Youth Policy Agreement
Read, understand, and agree to the general Mazama Volunteer Agreement
Complete a Mazama Youth Belay Check (on site for your first volunteer shift)
To get started on completing these items or for questions, contact help@mazamas.org.
