Volunteer with DOC

Volunteer Opportunities

Each year, citizen volunteers contribute thousands of service hours to the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC). Their involvement is highly valued and plays a vital role in supporting programs and services across the agency.

Volunteering provides an opportunity to give back to the community while making a meaningful difference in the lives of Adults in Custody (AIC).

Make an Impact

Volunteers help support personal growth, education, and positive change—helping individuals become more self-sufficient and successful upon reentry.

Volunteer Opportunities Include
  • Facilitating faith-based meetings and events
  • Participating in Native American services
  • Life skills programs
  • 12-step programs
  • Education programs
  • And many more opportunities
