Resources for Those Who Want to Make A Difference
This section is aimed at careers in non-profit, government, and education. Resources for careers in sustainability and for health care and healing are covered separately.
Portland/Metro Area: General
- www.cnrg-portland.org. CNRG is an excellent resource for nonprofit job seekers. Subscribers to this listserv receive daily notification by e-mail of job openings, classes, events and other issues of interest to people seeking alternative careers.
- portland.craigslist.org. A large proportion of jobs posted elsewhere show up on Craigslist within a few days. However, it is frustrating that many jobs do not identify the employer.
- www.indeed.com. Indeed seems to review and compile listings from other major traditional job sites, like Monster.com. I recommend trying it for a few weeks and seeing if you can save time by dropping Jobdango, Monster, etc.
Portland/Metro Area: Development
- www.wvdo-or.org. Willamette Valley Development Officers sponsors this site that has the most comprehensive local listing of jobs in development, including event planning, fundraising and grant writing.
Portland/Metro Area: Government

- www.portofportland.com — Port of Portland jobs
