GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY | MAY 11-21, 2022

OSU Days of Service is a celebration of our global Beaver community making positive changes. From May 11-21, 2022 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. 

Volunteer with fellow Beavers!

Whether you're cleaning up your neighborhood, volunteering at a food bank or helping in your own special way, every single action of service counts. Join an existing service project in your area or digital project online. Group and digital projects will be added as details are confirmed.

Join a group project in person near you on the final day of the event, May 21. Additional projects will be posted in the near future:
