Ensuring the Gorge remains a vibrant, living place—wondrous, wild, and open to all—is at the core of what we do. We are Friends of the Columbia Gorge, the only conservation organization entirely dedicated to protecting, preserving, and stewarding the Columbia Gorge for future generations.
Get Involved
Friends’ conservation work is driven by members, volunteers, and activists. There are many ways to join our community of Gorge enthusiasts. Here are some ways to get started:
Job Opening at Friends
We are hiring a Portland- or Hood River-based outdoor programs and communications specialist.
Knowledge Through Nature
As her time with Friends comes to a close, Digital Communications Intern Alana Cogen reflects on her experience.
Empowering New Voices, Strengthening Gorge Advocacy
Friends partners with the University of Portland Immersive Environmental Justice program.
