One Brick Portland: Volunteering with a Twist

One Brick Portland provides support to local nonprofit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. We enable people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments.

'Commitment-free volunteering' allows you to choose when you volunteer, rather than having to make commitments for a certain number of volunteer hours, or agree to be available every week at a specific time

"One Brick Portland is a 501(c)3 nonprofit volunteer organization that brings volunteers together to support other local nonprofit organizations by adopting an innovative twist to the volunteer experience: we create a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering, and after each volunteer event—which typically lasts only 3 to 4 hours—One Brick Portland invites volunteers to gather at a local restaurant or café where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting.

Through its volunteer projects, One Brick Portland provide nonprofits with the much-needed labor to carry out their visions. At the same time it also fosters an environment in which to meet new people, both socially and professionally.
