As many of you know, the Center writes a bi-weekly article in the neighborhood sections of the Statesman Journal. We want these articles to highlight the volunteer programs and volunteer needs of our Partner Agencies. Below is a list of dates for which we need article content:
Date Article is Due/Date Article Appears in SJ
February 2nd/February 18th
February 16th/March 4th
March 16th/April 1st
April 20th/May 6th
May 4th/May 20th
Please look at these dates and see when it might be most strategic for your organization or program to be highlighted (i.e. upcoming events, volunteer needs, celebrations, etc.). Articles need to be approximately 350-400 words in length. Let us know which date you are interested in.

Projects Needed for MLK Day - January 19th
January 19th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a nationally recognized day of service. The day is annually very popular for volunteers to engage in one-day service projects, but this year it is especially popular. Falling the day before the Presidential inauguration, President-elect Obama has called upon all Americans to make their day off, a day ON and to engage in service on January 19th.
The Center is planning a number of projects and events for schools, volunteer groups, and companies. We are still in need of a few volunteer projects, and we're bound to have more requests for projects as we get closer to the day.
Please let us know if you have a project for any time and for any group size on January 19th.
We appreciate all you do!

Next Partner Agency Meeting and Training - Feb. 17th
It's that time for the Volunteer & Mentor Center to host another quarterly training for our Partner Agencies. And for this quarter, we have decided to combine our training with a brief meeting to bring everyone up to speed on some changes that are occuring at the Center.
On February 17th from 8:30am - 10:30am join us at the United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley for time to network with other Partner Agnecies, an overview of some new developments at the Center, a tour of the brand new http://www.givebacktoday.org/ website, and this quarter's training.
Our topic this quarter is Managed Volunteer Projects 101. As many of you have noticed, our Center has developed a focus on managing and offering volunteer projects for volunteer groups and individual volunteers both in connection with national days of service and as part of our regular offering of service opportunities.
This training will cover the following:
- the short-term and long-term value to your organization for being involved in the projects our Center is managing
- how to plan and prepare for these projects
- what you can expect from the Center in terms of support
- what our Center expects of your organization when partnering to offer a managed volunteer project.
- Coverage of our new contracts for partnering to offer managed volunteer projects.
Please mark your calendars for this training! We hope to see you there!
