You are the HEART of our event!
The Southern Oregon True Crime Summit is a community-centered event bringing together educators, investigators, advocates, and storytellers for two days of learning, dialogue, and connection.
Our volunteers are a vital part of making this experience welcoming, organized, and impactful — and we’re so grateful for the people who step up to help make it happen.
If you love being part of live events, enjoy helping behind the scenes, and want to support a mission-driven gathering, we’d love to hear from you.
