Become a Volunteer
As a volunteer of the Portland Recovery Community Center you are an integral part of our overall mission. We are founded on the premise of providing “peer-to-peer” recovery support services and building community within these walls to provide a safe haven for people from every addiction recovery pathway. As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to help people from your community
who are on a lifelong journey of recovery from addiction. Your commitment to support our visitors and members is deeply appreciated by all.
Volunteering at the Portland Recovery Community Center supports the recovery community by providing a productive, safe, and engaging outlet for those in recovery. Successful relationships between a volunteer and a person in recovery help to instill a sense of accomplishment and pride for both individuals and are the foundation of our Center’s services.
As a volunteer you will:
• Support the recovery community
• Make new friends and be of service to others
• Share your experience, wisdom and ideas with others
• Be an active, vital member of the recovery community
• Build your resume- develop professional work habits, references and job experience
• Receive recognition for your dedication and service to the community

Become a Volunteer
First, join the center as a member, then you can sign up to become a volunteer. These are people who serve as leaders by volunteering as Recovery Coaches, Telephone Recovery Support Callers, and Leadership Training Facilitators or by signing up for work shifts at the center.
Volunteers provide a responsible level of peer support to others in recovery and are recognized for their efforts at the Annual Volunteer Award Dinner.
They form the backbone of the Recovery Community Center through their service as peer mentors, greeters and working with staff to manage program operations.
To become a volunteer, please meet with Volunteer Coordinator, Nancy Cormier. She can be reached at 207-553-2575 or email her. You can also download a Volunteer Application here.
