Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved, stay involved.
Happy Valley thrives because of the generosity and dedication of those who live and work here. Every year, volunteers contribute countless hours to support City programs, strengthen community connections, and enhance the quality of life for everyone.
By volunteering, you’re not only giving back—you’re also gaining valuable experience, building relationships, and finding a sense of purpose. Whether you want to boost your résumé, make new friends, or simply make a positive impact, there’s an opportunity waiting for you!
Happy Valley is always looking for volunteers who are passionate about their neighbors and community. Dedicated citizens regularly come together to address local issues and explore ways to make our City an even better place to live and work. One way to get involved is by serving on an appointed advisory board, where you can provide valuable input on City policies and initiatives.
Applications for Citizen Advisory Board appointments are accepted year-round and considered as vacancies arise. When a position opens, the Mayor and a City Councilor will interview candidates before making a recommendation to the City Council for appointment.
To apply, complete and submit the Citizen Advisory Board Appointment Application. If you have any questions, please contact Ben Bryant, Assistant City Manager, at 503-783-3840.
Many local organizations are also looking for passionate volunteers. Explore the possibilities and get involved today!

Earth Week Stewardship Event
Join us in celebrating Earth Week by helping to mulch and care for hundreds of native trees and shrubs planted this past winter! Your efforts will support their growth and resilience through the dry summer months ahead.
This hands-on event is perfect for those looking to make a meaningful impact—and get a great workout! We’ll be spreading mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and if time allows, we may also remove invasive plant species. Please note: This event does not include tree planting, and the work is physically demanding.
Come be a part of this important stewardship effort and help our local ecosystem thrive!
Sign up today through the Friends of Trees Event Calendar and be part of this impactful project!
Saturday, April 19th 8:45am-Noon @ Village Green Park-13786 SE Sieben Park Wy.
