GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY | MAY 20, 2023


OSU Day of Service is a celebration of our global Beaver community making positive changes. On May 20, alumni and friends of OSU will take the community spirit of Beaver Nation to the streets and online to make a difference. 

Do you have a passion for environmental restoration and education? Food security and community health? Supporting underserved populations, youth or elder populations? Connect with Beavers who share your interests and commitment to addressing community needs. 

Thank you for volunteering!

We had a great turn-out for our 15th annual OSU Day of Service. Volunteers in Oregon, Washington, California and across the ocean from Hawaii to India and Korea came together to volunteer in their communities. Alumni and friends packed food boxes for those in need, cleaned up parks and neighborhoods, helped with city recycling events, worked in gardens and more! Inspire others to volunteer in their communities by thanking your friends for joining you. Share photos of your project online and use #OSUDayofService. Thank you for spending the day with us in your community!  

See where we gathered for the 2023 OSU Day of Service below. Did you volunteer elsewhere? Log your service hours here to help us reach our goal of 5,000 hours!

Too busy this year? Don't worry, we get it! Life can get crazy and sometimes you don't have time to give. Do you want to help grow the OSU network and support OSU students? We will put your money to work! Donate today to support OSUAA programs and student scholarships by making a gift.
