Deschutes County seeks volunteers for new info desk

Deschutes County has launched a new volunteer program at its Deschutes Services Building in downtown Bend. Volunteers will staff the County’s new Information Desk, providing directions and assisting visitors.

The Deschutes Services building, located at 1300 NW Wall Street in Bend, is home to the Board of County Commissioners, Assessor’s Office, County Clerk’s Office, Finance/Tax Office, Human Resources, Administrative Services and County Counsel.

There is a variety of on-site activity, including citizens walking in to apply for marriage licenses, record real estate transactions, pay their property taxes, register for dog licenses and attend a variety of community meetings.

If you are interested in local government and want to help connect residents to County services, apply online at http://www.deschutes.org/informationdesk.

Volunteers must be 18 or older and complete the volunteer application process, which includes a meet and greet and background check. Volunteers will be matched according to their skills and schedule.
