About

Founded in 1894 at the summit of Mt. Hood, the Mazamas is the oldest and most active mountaineering club in the Pacific Northwest! What's even more amazing than all the hikes, climbs, ski tours and expeditions we log is the fact that all Mazamas activities are volunteer-led. In 2010, 600 volunteers gave over 80,000 hours to the organization.

A companion site to the Mazama Blog, this site is all about volunteer opportunities at the Mazamas. These opportunities include one-time events, in addition to openings in our ongoing volunteer positions.

Whether you are new to the Mazamas or have been around for a long time, check here for updates on how to get involved in the organization's amazing history of volunteerism.

You can also find these opportunities listed in the monthly Mazamas bulletin, or on our website.

To post an opportunity on this blog, please email the moderator.
