Get involved with your community and become a mentor in the Foundations program!
As a community mentor, you will provide support to participants transitioning to self-sufficiency. Successful volunteers will have the desire to work with low-income individuals as they take steps toward financial independence.
Having a friendly ally to discuss new perspectives and ideas with, will expand your partner's social support network, allowing for a stronger sense of community and belonging.
Feeling connected to the community can be an important anchor to a different lifestyle, and having you as a caring community contact will strengthen that connection, and keep them moving forward. Join us on the journey!!

Mission Statement
In partnership with a caring community, we help people in Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties to access tools and resources to overcome poverty and build brighter and more stable futures.
Description
Established in July, 1980, as the state-designated community action agency for Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties, Community Services Consortium is one of 18 community action agencies in Oregon that deliver programs designed to combat poverty and its root causes in our state.
As part of a nationwide network of anti-poverty organizations, CSC joins in leading the way to educate and advocate for those in need in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln counties. We are a public, nonprofit organization dedicated to ending poverty in Oregon.
CSC is supported by federal, state, and local funds, as well as through private grants, donations, and fundraising efforts. CSC’s oversight consists of a Governing Board and Advisory Board to which we report on a regular basis.
Our current priorities are:
- Jobs and financial help;
- Quality education and training;
