Read to a child. Maintain a nature trail. Visit a senior citizen. Fix a bicycle.

The volunteer opportunities in Portland, Oregon, are endless. But what’s the best way to connect with the right opportunity for YOU?

Join The Standard at our free community event!

Date	Friday, September 11
Time	11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Place	Pioneer Courthouse Square
Cost	Free

We’ve invited more than 80 nonprofit organizations to Pioneer Courthouse Square so Portlanders like you can find the perfect match for your talents and interests. With so many nonprofits gathered in one convenient location, you can explore all kinds of opportunities.

Representatives from all the nonprofits will be on hand to share information about what they do, answer your questions and help you find the perfect place to volunteer.

Thanks to a partnership with New Avenues for Youth, Ben & Jerry’s PartnerShop Scoop Shop is offering a free scoop of ice cream to attendees who connect with five or more nonprofits at the Expo. Just grab a Connect Card (distributed at the event) and collect stamps on it as you visit the nonprofit booths. When you receive at least five stamps, you can redeem them for one free scoop of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Connect with others who care about our community.
