Volunteer Opportunites
Become A Walk Leader In Your Community
We are always looking for people to lead consistent walks in their community. This could be anything from every week to every few months, and it might be small (a few neighbors!) or big (dozens of folks!). The goal is to build a network of regular walks for folks to join. If that interests you, let us know and we’ll work with you to set up for success!
Join Our Plans and Projects Committee
This monthly committee works to advance our mission of promoting and advocating for safe walking conditions. As a PnP member, you’ll provide input on pedestrian-related plans and projects throughout the region by providing written comments, oral testimony, and giving feedback to Oregon Walks staff.
Be an Oregon Walks Representative
Represent Oregon Walks at community outreach events by sharing information about our organization's education and advocacy efforts as well as community events and programs. Materials will be provided.
Support Our Special Events
Join Oregon Walks on September 27th, 2026 for a full-day walkpalooza event known as the Portland Promenade. There’s a wide range of volunteer shifts available from registration and tabling to route support and being a pacer.
Support Our Community Events
Join Oregon Walks for our community walking events by picking up snacks, mingling with attendees as an OW representative, taking photographs for social media, crowd management, and other related tasks. We host events throughout the year with varying consistency. Our peak season of community walking events is September, otherwise known as 'STEPtember'
