Participating in service with others from OSU is an engaging and rewarding experience! We offer weekly Beavs Volunteer projects and Saturday of Service projects as opportunities for you to connect with others over volunteering and making an impact in our community.
This annual event provides OSU community members with an opportunity to kick off the academic year engaged in our community. Registration and details can be found on our homepage on or before the start of fall term.
"We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously." - Grace Lee Boggs
This day of service kicks off the OSU Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration and is OSU's largest and longest running Saturday of Service. Join us to honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and then check out all the other great commemoration events and awards taking place the following week. Registration and details can be found on our homepage on or before the start of winter term.
“True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
Celebrate our planet and contribute to environmental restoration or conservation with us every spring through service! We share our event data with SOLVE who report on the amazing Earth Day work completed across the state. Registration and details can be found on our homepage on or before the start of spring term.
"The way we harm the earth affects all people, and how we treat one another is reflected in how we treat the earth." - Paul Hawken
