City Manager

Volunteers enrich the community through shared passion and dedication. Volunteer service builds mutual understanding, respect and common ideals. The city values its volunteer partners and knows that together, we are stronger.

The City of Milwaukie has seven active neighborhood groups and each Milwaukie neighborhood meets monthly.

The city's Neighborhood District Associations (NDA) bring great family-friendly events to Milwaukie year after year!

Lead exercise classes, tutor children, provide admin support to staff, help with food box deliveries, or support special events and fundraisers. 

Next class is April 5, 12, and 19, 2025

Value of volunteer time is $33.49 per hour nationally! 

When a disaster strikes, Milwaukians will have to count on each other in the community, workplace, and at home in order to be safe until responders arrive.

Oregon's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) encourages everyone to prepare themselves to be on their own for a minimum of two weeks. This lessens the strain on emergency responders who need to focus limited resources on injured and other vulnerable populations immediately following a disaster.
