SOLV's mission statement
SOLV is a non-profit organization that brings together individual volunteers, service and conservation groups, businesses and government agencies in activities to restore our natural spaces and provide educational opportunities to encourage environmental stewardship. Governor Tom McCall and other community leaders established SOLV in 1969. They saw the need for community action to address problems in the ever-growing state. Today SOLV is building on their vision with a strategic plan that will guide us as we work to improve the environment of Oregon and build a legacy of stewardship.

SOLV annually provides resources to more than 250 Oregon communities, focusing on cleanup, native planting, invasive plant removal and environmental maintenance projects. SOLV creates an average of 50,000 volunteer opportunities across the state. Since 1997, SOLV has provided an estimated $60,000,000 in service to Oregon.
 Our Goals
  • Engage Oregonians of all ages in a spectrum of episodic and long-term volunteer experiences to improve Oregon’s environment.
  • Raise the awareness of volunteers to the impact of their work by incorporating education throughout SOLV’s activities.
