Community Outreach Volunteers
Do you like talking to people and attending community events? If you want to get out there and educate people on "living green" and the fantastic work OEC does, this is your chance!
Outgoing, eco-happy volunteers staff our booth at various events in the Portland area, connecting people to solutions and getting the word out about OEC.
Typically, tabling is in on weekends, with morning and afternoon shifts, three to four hours maximum. Volunteers are encouraged to develop their own style, and communication skills are a definite plus.
OEC has had a booth everywhere from the Portland Auto Show and the Fix-It Fair, to Babyfest and Portland International Women’s Day.
