volunteerhere.com is a project of the Partnership for Volunteer Impact (PVI), a collaboration of volunteer centers and retired and senior volunteer programs in the four-county area. The mission of the Partnership for Volunteer Impact is to create an innovative collaboration to increase volunteerism in the four county market area. Our goals include: increasing the capacity of volunteer organizations to involve volunteers effectively; increasing the ability of volunteers to connect to meaningful service opportunities; creating a single benchmark to measure volunteerism in the four county area; and, creating a single vision for volunteerism in our community.

The Partnership for Volunteer Impact (PVI) is a collaboration of Hands On Portland, Volunteer Connection of Clackamas County, RSVP of Washington County, Volunteer Center of Clark County, and RSVP of Clark County. The construction of volunteerhere.com was funded by United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and through the generous in-kind support of New Interactive, a Portland multimedia firm.

Hands On Portland provides a community of volunteers with a variety of meaningful service and leadership opportunities. Hands On Portland connects volunteers with opportunities that match their schedules and interests.
