The Vision Team is the volunteer steering committee of Siuslaw Vision. Vision Team members use their knowledge and enthusiasm to enhance opportunities for all people living in our community. VT members build connections by bringing together organizations and individuals within the Siuslaw region. They research, identify, and coordinate resources, promote the Vision, and foster a sense of community ownership.

The volunteer Board of Directors works together, with the Vision Team and staff, to keep Siuslaw Vision running smoothly. The responsibilities of the Board include: setting policies; approving the organization’s operating budget; hiring/discharging and supervising the organization’s employees; and serving as advocates and ambassadors for Siuslaw Vision.

Our Subcommittees & Working Teams help move community-led work forward. Subcommittees focus on Siuslaw Vision’s internal needs and Working Teams are collaborative and focus on community needs.

How We Support Our Volunteers

Siuslaw Vision believes that volunteer work should be possible for anyone who wants to make a difference in our community. We offer a small volunteer stipend as a way to acknowledge the expertise and generosity of our volunteers and offset indirect costs of volunteering. We are family friendly! We work with our volunteers to make our volunteer opportunities accessible with hybrid (online and in-person) meetings, reimbursing for child or elder care, welcoming family members to our meetings, and covering transportation costs for Vision events.
