At a neighborhood cleanup.

OHSU Hillsboro Volunteer Application

Oregon state zoo is accepting Habitat roving volunteers

Make a difference by helping connect our community to the wonder of wildlife. Habitat roving volunteers share information, stories, and conservation messages while stationed at a habitat during daytime hours and special events.

How to apply

Submit an application

Application windows are open up to three times per year: early January, late spring and late summer. Volunteers participate in the season following the application period. Applications may not open if a program is at capacity.

Once an application is approved and volunteers progress through the program, new and additional opportunities will become available to them. If you are interested in a different role to start your volunteer experience, please check out the other volunteer programs.

About this opportunity

Habitat rovers share information, stories, and conservation messages while stationed at a habitat during daytime hours and special events.

A once-weekly commitment of 4 hours
Available as a family or individual volunteer experience
Open to youth ages 10 to 13 years when participating with a consistent adult volunteer
Open to anyone aged 14 and up—from students to retirees—participating individually or with friends/family

Please note

Youth aged 10 to 13 years old must volunteer with one consistent adult, such as a parent, relative, or close family friend. The adult must actively participate in the volunteer program alongside the youth, including completing a separate volunteer application and attending orientation, training and actively participating in the volunteer program alongside the youth.

All 18+ volunteers must complete a background check.

Our program is designed to be inclusive of all skills and abilities; we welcome job coaches or other support personnel.

VolunteeringMain Street programs are traditionally built on the foundation of volunteerism and community engagement, and Hillsboro Downtown Partnership (HDP) is no different. We have opportunities that require as little as a two-hour commitment to leadership roles that serve multi-year terms, and everything in between.
