Office Volunteer

This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity

Office Volunteers keep the MMC running smoothly by providing consistent and efficient administrative services to support Mazamas members.

Office Volunteers spend the majority of their time acting as the face of the organization by greeting visitors, answering phones and responding to voicemails and emails. Office Volunteers also handle new membership applications, process dues and merchandise payments, and do basic bookkeeping for the organization.
Occasionally, OV's pitch in to help with special activities and events going on at the MMC.

Volunteers are asked to commit to one 4 hour shift/week, current openings are: Mondays: 3-7pm, Tuesdays: 3-7pm, Wednesdays: 3-7pm, Thursdays: 3-7pm

Expedition Committee

Third Tuesday of the month, 7pm

What do you think when you hear expedition? Exploration? Discovery? If these words get your imagination working, consider joining the Mazamas Expedition Committee.

The Mazamas Expedition Committee promotes mountaineering and exploratory expeditions through endorsements, sponsorships, and grants. This support is geared toward expeditions into remote mountain environments.

Expedition Committee also organizes presentations to the public by well-known expeditionary mountaineers at various local venues. Most recently the Expedition Committee brought Blake Herrington to the MMC for a presentation on “Ultralight Alpinism”. Join Expedition Committee at their next monthly meeting and become part of the adventure!
