Join the Community for Positive Aging’s mission to support older adults and individuals with disabilities living in permanent supportive housing. We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities from delivering food and offering technology assistance to hosting peer groups and organizing a community clothing closet. Whether you're looking to connect one-on-one with residents, support behind-the-scenes operations, or share a special skill, there's a meaningful way for you to get involved.

Your time, skills, and compassion can help residents maintain housing stability, build community, and access life-sustaining resources. Volunteers play a vital role in fostering trust, dignity, and connection-ensuring that all residents can age in place safely and with support.

Make a tangible impact by supporting housing stability and health equity. Volunteers in this role help residents connect to critical services by conducting outreach, compiling resource guides, and amplifying the voices of the community.

You might:

  • Deliver packages, purchases, or flyers to residents

  • Conduct outreach to promote hybrid (virtual/in-person) programming

  • Serve as an event host or support resource distribution

  • Gather resident feedback and document insights

  • Create or update forms, surveys, or program documentation

  • Assist with special projects or research to strengthen programming

Location: Alder House | 523 SW 13th Ave

Impact: By improving access to services, you help reduce social isolation, prevent crises, and empower residents to stay housed and thrive.

Ideal for: Those interested in or with direct experience in social work, community health, or public policy with a passion for affordable housing and social justice.

Time Commitment: 4-6 hours/week; Flexible schedule

Why Your Support Matters

Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) provides more than just shelter-it offers a foundation for stability, dignity, and wellness. Many residents face complex challenges related to aging, disability, and chronic health conditions. Volunteers are a vital part of building a supportive, trusting environment where residents feel seen, heard, and empowered. By offering your time, compassion, and unique skills, you help foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to age in place with respect and support.

Don’t See the Right Fit? Let’s Co-Create It!

We know that everyone has different strengths and interests. If you're passionate about supporting housing-insecure adults and want to make a difference, we’re happy to create a role that fits your availability, skills, and goals. Whether it’s leading a creative workshop, helping with administrative tasks, offering tech help, or just being a friendly presence-your support can make a meaningful impact. Let’s explore how you can get involved!

Mission Statement

Community for Positive Aging is a caring and healthy organization that encourages intergenerational relationships, recognizes the wisdom and experience of its elders, and demonstrates awareness and respect for the aging process. Seniors have access to a full spectrum of services, including social, emotional, educational, and recreational opportunities appropriate to their unique needs and interests.

Description

CFPA was founded as Hollywood Senior Center in 1973, a nonprofit committed to creating an uplifting and vibrant environment for adults 55 and older while providing a channel for intergenerational relationships and learning. In July 2021, HSC expanded by absorbing The Giving Tree, another not-for-profit organization, committed to providing residential services to people living in affordable housing, including access to culturally-specific food, throughout Portland; merger of these two organizations form CFPA.
