The Corvallis Parks & Recreation Department hosts several special events a year. These large community events are designed to improve the quality of life in the community, help create a sense of belonging, help support local business, and most importantly, are fun! These large events need the help of numerous volunteers who have the same interest in supporting the community, strengthen relationships, and getting involved. We hope you will be able to join a special event team!
Volunteers like you will be valuable for special events like:

Oregon Senior Games Oregon Senior Games offer the camaraderie and challenge of competitive sports to older adults and promote health, well-being and active aging among participants. It’s never too late to get active and try something new. Many Senior Games participants didn’t start competing in sports until their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. This event is hosted over 3 weekends in August. Join us in supporting these inspiring adults.
