Volunteer
Welcome to the Lake Oswego volunteers page.
Oregon has passed legislation that requires the City of Lake Oswego to give volunteers a copy of the City’s Equal Employment Opportunity, Anti-Harassment and Non-Discrimination Policy to volunteers. In order to avoid unnecessary printing, the City has posted the Policy on the City of Lake Oswego’s Human Resources website. The City asks that all volunteers review this Policy before showing up to volunteer.
