Volunteer Forms
Join a Committee
The SCH Board has a number of standing committees, including Finance, Building, and Fundraising that are always looking for new members! If you have an interest and professional experience in these or other areas, consider joining a committee! Board membership is not a prerequisite for joining a committee, just an excitement to make a difference.
If you have any questions or are interested in learning more, please reach out to our executive director, Ashley Murray, at ashley@sellwoodcommunityhouse.org.
