Careers At ODVA

We Are Oregon Veterans. Join The Team!

An organization often reflects the salient beliefs and characteristics of its leadership and, more importantly, its employees. In our case, we are the very community we serve.

As a state agency, our employees are some of the most passionate and dedicated people working toward a very noble mission, day in and day out. From our front-line Statewide Veteran Services Division to operational services that support day-to-day business, our teams work together to deliver on a promise made more than 70 years ago.

In order to deliver on an incredibly broad mission in serving a diverse veterans’ community, we focus not on creating new programs, but rather, aligning and partnering around a shared vision and of good stewardship of existing resources.

ODVA unites government, private companies, nonprofits, and other veteran service organizations to address issues facing veterans and their families. We are building support around specific issues that affect veterans. And, we maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders that allow us to continue to be a leading voice on veteran’s issues.

This is ODVA's cadence. Together with our veterans and our partners, we honor the past, build on our strengths, and chart a course worthy of the next 70 years.

Does this sound like a mission you could get behind? Then consider a career at ODVA!
