Senior Connect Program

Proceeds from the Senior Connect Program to benefit the
Children’s Programs at Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc.

A Unique Opportunity…..

Hey Seniors! Would you like to enjoy the outdoors on a rural raspberry farm situated in Corbett? The farm is an easy drive from Portland or Gresham. Come and meet our farm animals and enjoy a great afternoon at Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc.

Upon your arrival, you will first gather in the School House for an orientation to Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc. At that time, you will have a chance to pick up brochures about the educational programs we offer. Then you can head out to see the animals, garden and facilities. The Farm is handicap accessible. If you have difficulty getting around, however, we can lead or bring the animals to you. Lastly, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or tea during question and answer time before you leave.

How about a further opportunity? Would you like to help enrich the life of a child?

Mentoring a child is a great way to positively influence his or her life! If this sounds interesting to you, please ask us for additional information.

Other Volunteer Opportunities

Old McDonald’s Farm, Inc. (OMF) is a nonprofit, charitable organization providing hands-on, educational experiences in a therapeutic farm setting. We offer our services to benefit all children in the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area.

Our mission: In facilitating healthy social and emotional development, OMF is committed to providing at-risk protective factors to children through structured, educational experiences using animals, agriculture, gardens and natural resources.

Learn to motivate and empower people through volunteer coordinating. Learn human service skills by working directly with children, youth and adults. In addition, we utilize curriculum and lesson/activity plans to educate children and so OMF would be of particular interest to teachers as well. OMF offers much variety.
