The Volunteer & Mentor Center is excited to organize a large-scale service project for the Willamette Valley Region of Future Business leaders of America (FBLA)!!
These 100 high school students (freshman-senior) from around the valley will be at a conference, convened at Chemeketa Community College, on January 31st, and are available to complete service projects. The project can be anything, as long as they can complete it on the college campus.
Examples might include assembling a mailing or information packets, sorting donations such as books or clothing, or creating toys for animals. We are looking for 10 projects for students broken into groups of 10.
We must have agency commitment by November 28th!
If you are interested, please contact Khela (ksinger-adams@unitedwaymwv.org, 503-363-1651) and provide the following information:
1) Agency name
2) Project contact information
3) General project idea (we will finalize details later, just need general idea and commitment)
As a note we will take care of picking up materials and returning completed projects to your agency. We hope you will join us as it is a great opportunity to help high school students learn about the mission of your organization and ways they can get involved in the community.

December 6: Scouting for Food
An opportunity for your employees and volunteers!
The United Way, the Boy Scouts, Marion-Polk Food Share, and Yamhill Community Action Partnership are working together to raise our goal of 75,000 pounds of food for the Scout’s annual Scouting for Food event on December 6th.
On December 6th volunteers are simply needed between 9AM and 1PM to walk door to door in their neighborhoods and pick up bags of food that have been left out for collection. This is a fun, easy opportunity, and represents an exciting partnership among several of our local non-profit agencies. Please join us for the event by signing up to volunteer: http://www.givebacktoday.org/GBT-SpecialEVENTS.html
Also please share this opportunity with your volunteer bases. We’re really trying to bring our community together in support of this wonderful event!
