Volunteer Orientations are held every Thursday at 4pm. These meetings are held at our Admin Office located at 2201 S. Pacific Hwy, Medford 97501 and they last about 30 minutes.
If you have scheduling conflicts or questions, please reach out to us at (541) 779-1983 or habitatvc@roguevalleyhabitat.org.
