commissioned by Oregon 150, Governor Kulongoski’s planning commission for
the state’s sesquicentennial in 2009, to bring you the largest volunteer
event in the State’s history - Take Care of Oregon Days! This event will
take place May 16th 2009 (in Douglas County) where 20,000 volunteers will celebrate the
State’s 150th birthday by cleaning up their downtowns, holding a food
drive, painting murals in the local school, or working on whatever their
community needs to be at its best!
To prepare for Take Care of Oregon Days, we are conducting free Volunteer
Action Trainings in your area that will help you envision your project. The
workshops will focus on recruiting and leading volunteers; project
logistics and safety; preventing volunteer burnout; working with media; and
fundraising. The training will help you work with your neighbors to improve
your community, and is free for anyone planning a community project.
