We have volunteer positions on the Committees that operate our organization, in the Programs that we run, and as ORPIB representatives at external events such as pride. We want volunteering with ORPIB to be a mutually-beneficial experience for both the volunteer and our organization and will work to support your individual goals for volunteering with us.
You may submit an application with general volunteering interest. We will work together to help you positively affect the community. If you’d prefer to send an email, our Volunteer Program Manager can be reached at volunteers@orpib.com, and via voice or text at 971 224 3224.
