Volunteer with ORPIB

Learn a little about what we’re looking for right now, then apply to volunteer for a specific area or role, or just with general interest. We check applications periodically, and will respond to yours as soon as we can, usually within two weeks.

We welcome business owners, students aged 18 and older, retirees, and anyone with the needed skills and qualities aligned with a volunteer role.

Some volunteer roles are available to the public, and some are limited to Chamber Members.

Attend a Volunteer Info Session!

Join us for an upcoming Volunteer Information Session and discover how you can make a difference with Oregon Pride in Business! 

In this session, you’ll:

  • Hear from staff, board, and volunteer leaders about our committees and projects.

  • Discover ways to get started — or deepen your involvement.

  • Have time to ask questions and connect directly with leaders.

You’ll leave with clear next steps — and new opportunities to connect, contribute, and grow with ORPIB.

Everyone is invited to learn or learn more about our Volunteer program and opportunities.

All sessions are virtual. Please click a date from the list below to register to attend.
