New Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteerism plays an important role here at Marion County, helping to build our relationship with citizens while building our capacity to deliver important services and supports. We are fortunate as we benefit from a community committed to civic engagement, and many volunteers make significant contribution in time, energy and expertise.
Marion County offers a wide variety of program and event volunteer opportunities, as well as opportunities to serve on an advisory boards, committee or task force. Opportunities vary by department, and by the time of the year, and evolve.

Spotlight - Sexual Assault Response Advocates
Marion County's Victim Assistance Program serves thousands of victims each year, providing support to victims of child abuse, stalking, sexual assault, elder abuse, domestic violence, and homicide. Sexual Assault Response Advocates are highly trained volunteers who provide competent, caring services to victims of sexual assault.
Every survivor's experience is unique, and trauma is deeply personal. Volunteer advocates provide immediate response and support to victims of sexual assault, providing an important first step in the healing process. The 2024 Sexual Assault Response Advocate training will begin Monday, January 9, 2024. Applications must be received by Friday, December 22nd. Find out more, and find their program specific application, at https://www.co.marion.or.us/DA/victimassistance/Pages/volunteers.aspx.
