IPs participate in a wide variety of service activities depending on the needs of their specific site. During their term of service IP members become an integral part of the sponsoring organization and the community they serve. IP members are also grouped into teams, comprised of 15 to 20 members with similar projects, that meet bi-weekly to provide one another with support, networking opportunities, and a connection to the NWSA community. Members serving at the Portland Metro Center are responsible for their own housing. Many members find shared housing in one of Portland's many large older homes with other members, friends or family.
Members are also responsible for getting to and from their project site.
Most Portland Metro sites are accessible by bike or Portland's public transportation system. Contact Us .
