Your Vision. Your Community.

SOLV's Project Oregon helps individuals, groups, students, and teachers organize volunteer projects throughout Oregon that engage volunteers in restoration and cleanup efforts. Projects begin with your vision and take place in your community.

Project Oregon is designed to support projects by providing planning assistance, project materials and small grants.
