Does SEI use outside volunteers?
SEI welcomes volunteers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of inner-city youth and families. Volunteer opportunities fall into three categories: (1) ongoing or short-term support for a special event; (2) clerical support; and (3) direct service to youth.

All potential volunteers agree to undergo a background check and attend a mandatory orientation. Volunteer orientations are held on a quarterly basis. For more information, please contact Sharon Brabenac at (503) 249-1721 x264 or sharonb@selfenhancement.org.
