Virtual Info Session about Moda Center Fundraising
2026-01-22 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
CISV Portland has an incredible opportunity to volunteer at the Rose Quarter/Moda Center selling concessions for events. This has the possibility to be a game-changer (pun intended) for our chapter’s hosting fund.

To make this successful, we need a pool of at least approximately 20 volunteers to commit to:

Participating in training session at the Moda Center (date/time TBD)
Obtaining food handler’s card (ages16+) and OLCC alcohol service permit (ages 18+) (CISV Portland will reimburse you)
Purchasing specific food service attire (CISV Portland will reimburse)
Commit to volunteering at one event every 1-3 months (dependent on total number of volunteers in the pool). Volunteer commitment at each event lasts 5-7 hours.

Anyone 16 or older can participate, however, there has to be at minimum a 2:1 ratio between adults and youth because 16-17 year olds are limited in what they can do at the concession stand.

There will be a virtual information session on Thursday, January 22nd at 7:00 pm to explain more about the program and what’s involved, including getting the permit/card, the attire, and the training.
