ORJPA

The Oregon Jigsaw Puzzle Association (ORJPA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that brings people together to enjoy and appreciate jigsaw puzzles. Its mission is to create and nurture a statewide puzzle community, connecting enthusiasts through activities and events around Oregon. ORJPA shares information about puzzle swaps, community gatherings, speed-puzzling competitions, and other puzzle-related opportunities.

The association’s activities include recurring speed-puzzling meetups, puzzle exchanges in Northeast Portland and Tualatin, and the Cedar Mill Puzzlers Club. Its event calendar also features contests and special challenges hosted with community venues and partners, including libraries, parks and recreation programs, and the Creative Alliance. ORJPA supports puzzle sharing through puzzle swaps and puzzle libraries, and offers a traveling puzzle program. Contest results and event details help participants stay connected with the local puzzle scene.

Led by volunteers serving as president, vice president, event coordinator, and treasurer, ORJPA welcomes people interested in joining its team. The organization communicates with its community through email and social platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Discord.
