VOLUNTEER AT FILM ACTION OREGON

Volunteer program overview:
Film Action Oregon is one of Portland's leading arts nonprofits committed to educating emerging filmmakers, supporting working artists and engaging diverse audiences. To help us fulfill our mission we are always looking for talented and dedicated individuals to assist in all areas of operations including, but not limited to: office work (during daytime business hours), outreach and advocacy, event planning and fundraising, marketing/collateral design, building maintenance and most importantly Theatre operations. Please read through our volunteer job descriptions document to see where your individual talents might best be utilized.

We need your help:
Because the Hollywood Theatre is open 365 days per year, our greatest need is for volunteers to assist with day-to-day operations at the Theatre, helping with concession/box office sales and light Theatre maintenance. It takes over 250 volunteers to cover 1144 shifts each year. These volunteers are crucial to Film Action's continued success, contributing the equivalent of 2 full-time staff members and allowing Film Action to direct resources towards vital programs and services for Portland's artistic community.
