Volunteer

Our programming is made possible with the help of those who generously donate their time to Literary Arts. Here are some ways you can help us fulfill our mission to serve thousands of readers and writers of all ages across Oregon.

Each November, the in-person Portland Book Festival relies on the support of hundreds of amazing volunteers to ensure the event runs smoothly. Subscribe to our e-news for the latest news.

During fall and spring semesters in Portland Public Schools and other surrounding school districts, College Essay Exchange is proud to connect aspiring college students with community volunteers. Check out our Bloomerang volunteer page for more on the opportunity and to sign up!
