About the Office of Community Involvement

Learn more about the Office of Community Involvement, our history, and our role at Multnomah County.

Office of Community Involvement

OCI was established in 1984 to support County-wide engagement through a multifaceted approach. Our mission is to support early, inclusive, and equitable community outreach and engagement while working to mitigate barriers to civic participation. 
 
OCI collaborates with departments and staff to strengthen program-based engagement. We advise on engagement policies and procedures and develop engagement trainings and resources for county staff and community members. We serve as a community portal to departmental engagement opportunities and directly support civic advisory committees to amplify public feedback in County engagement and budget resource allocation.

Through the County’s advisory bodies, community members are able to share feedback and provide recommendations for the improvement of services and programs. In addition, community members participate in the function, review, and improvement of 
Multnomah County's programs, policies, and services through a wide variety of volunteer and intern opportunities.

We welcome everyone who lives, works, plays, and worships in Multnomah County to participate in shaping our county policies, budgets, and programs.
