Volunteering at NAYA Family Center


"No person among us desires any other reward for performing a brave and worthy action, but the consciousness of having served his nation"
Joseph Brant (Thayendanegea) Mohawk


Volunteers play an important role in NAYA Family Center's success! We simply couldn't function without the support of our volunteers who dedicated over 2,500 hours of service in 2008. Volunteering with us provides an opportunity to:

  • Connect with the Portland Metro area's Native American community
  • Gain a variety of transferable skills
  • Do what you love
