The Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center Beaverton Clinic is looking for some fun-loving hard workers to help with a special carpet cleaning project on January 17.

Carpet cleaning may not initially sound exciting, but combine that with the wonderful opportunity to spend time with other amazing and compassionate volunteers and staff members and a chance to make a real difference in the lives of others, and you have a rewarding and fun experience!

The Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center serves more than 34,000 patients each year, many of whom face barriers to accessing healthcare, including language, cultural or socioeconomic barriers. Virginia Garcia provides primary care, dental, vision, mental healthcare, and education programs.

Experience the rewards of making a difference in a child’s life!

Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization’s (IRCO) David Douglas Mentoring Project (DDMP) is seeking energetic volunteer mentors interested in supporting  elementary and middle school students who would benefit from interactions with a caring adult.

DDMP is a one-on-one mentoring program that matches a student from the David Douglas School District with an adult mentor from the community.  Students selected for the program are those with highest needs (low academic performance, behavior issues, language and cultural barriers) and could benefit from having a positive role model.

SCRAP--The School and Community Reuse Action Project--is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and our mission is to inspire creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing educational programs and affordable materials to the community.

New Volunteer Orientation: Sunday, January 4th, 10-11am.

Come be part of the SCRAP volunteer crew where we love to have fun while making an impact.

We'll soon be moving into a larger space and need to double our volunteer team. Each volunteer spends approx. 3 hours per week working in a variety of areas that fit their interests. We compensate with store credit, so each hour you volunteer equals one dollar in the store!
