VOLUNTEER
Dedicated volunteers advance our mission every day!
Thank you for considering a volunteer opportunity or internship with Impact NW. We offer a variety of opportunities from one-time only, seasonal projects to on-going commitments.
Our goal is to design a volunteer experience that meets your needs and the needs of the organization by following these three guidelines:
- Work towards our vision of creating a safety net and springboard for community members to improve their quality of life and achieve independence.
- Nurture the development and education of volunteers/interns
- Contribute to the overall well-being of those we serve by our collaboration.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and help them become what they are capable of being.

Are you a kid at heart?
Do you want to make a difference in a child’s life?
Kids on the Block Awareness Program, a service of Impact NW, is looking for a few good volunteer puppeteers!
Through the art of puppetry, we help educate local children on important topics like bullying, respecting diversity, making healthy food choices, staying away from gangs, managing emotions and more.
No experience is needed – just a willingness to perform and expand your puppetry skills. You’ll receive in-depth, professional puppeteer training for free!
Volunteers perform 1 to 2 events a month for one year. We work with your availability, visiting private and public schools, youth groups and public fairs throughout Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington and Clark Counties to bring powerful and relevant messages to kids.
YOU can make a difference and help give children a voice!
