Volunteer Opportunities
Why Volunteer?
Volunteers add greatly to the
effectiveness of Extension Programs. OSU Family and Community Development
programs are expanded and enriched by volunteers working directly
with Extension professionals and aligned volunteer service organizations
to deliver educational programming.
Volunteers are supported
through OSU Family and Community Development in three areas:
Family Food Education
Volunteers
Volunteers support Extension foods and nutrition programming
in several counties. The Family Food Education volunteer program is
an enhancement of a similar program initiated in 1980. Family Food
Education volunteers have been trained to teach Oregonians about safe
food handling and storage. Training modules on food security (such
as use of emergency foods) and nutrition (such as food labeling) are
being added to the curriculum.
Family
Community Education Volunteers
Oregon Association for Family and Community Education
is an independent non-profit organization whose history and mission
is closely aligned with the OSU Family and Community Development Program.
We work collaboratively to develop and deliver community education
and service projects addressing important community needs.
