Take a Class
We offer classes for everyone! No matter your age, gender & abilities, we have a class for you. See our schedule to learn more. If you know someone who might be interested in our classes, but need more information, or you'd like us to host a workshop somewhere, please contact Rachel at 503-933-5536 or email [email protected].
Volunteer
We are always looking for guest speakers to hold presentations and discussions with our students and volunteers to help us run events and market our program. Please visit our contact page to send us a message, email us at [email protected] or call Rachel Shelton at 503-933-5536 for more details.
Currently, we are revitalizing our curriculum as well as our Board of Directors. If you have skills or experience that you think would be of value to The Marissa Mission, please consider applying to become a volunteer board member. Upon application, we will contact you to give you more information about time commitment and the expectations of serving on our board.
Become an Instructor
Each summer we hold a teacher training. We have limited space and prioritize past students, but we also welcome anyone who is interested in sharing their gifts of yoga or dance with women and being a mentor in the Portland community.
We currently offer:
Yoga
Tribal Style Belly Dance
Expressive Art
Activities and presentations about important life issues and interests
If you feel like you can enhance any of the above or offer something else exciting and new to our core program, you're the perfect candidate for this program.
After completing this course, you may volunteer with us directly, out in the Portland community or even find a paid position using our name with various organizations such as Sun School, Art(s)Cool PDX, etc. We are a small organization and are excited to learn about unique ways to offer our services, so please feel free to talk with us about any ideas you may have.
The next trainings are in August. Click here for dates, times and registration. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions. We require at least four hours of observation as part of the curriculum and you may get that out of the way before you start the training. Observation is a great way to make sure this is something you are really passionate about!
