The volunteers of Portland’5 Centers for the Arts are vital members of the Portland metro community and share the desire to increase access to the performing arts.
Our volunteers are members of the Portland metro community and share the desire to increase access to the performing arts. The Portland'5 Volunteer Program is filled with people who share their life and business experiences, fluency in other languages and their love of live performances. All training is provided including customer service procedures, ushering duties, ticket reading and safety in all venues.
Portland’5 volunteers do not work any of the Broadway Across America performances at Keller Auditorium, but we do work other great performances including the Oregon Ballet Theatre, Portland Opera, Oregon Symphony, Stumptown Stages, Oregon Children’s Theatre, Portland Revels, PassinArt Theatre and more!
If you share a passion for the arts, love working in a team, and are ready to enter a whole new world of experiences and new friends, please reach out to us!
Volunteer recruitment is now closed for the 2024 – 2025 season
All available opportunities have been filled, and we are no longer accepting new volunteer applications at this time.
We will review our volunteer needs in September 2025 and will open needed usher positions at that time.
Thank you for your interest and support of the performing arts in Portland.
