BEAVS VOLUNTEER

Join us once or weekly for a group volunteer service project!

Beavs Volunteer is Community Engagement & Leadership’s weekly service project series designed for students to volunteer weekly or as their schedule allows. Getting involved in Beavs Volunteer is a way to create meaningful impact in the surrounding Corvallis community, while getting to know other students. In small teams, you will participate in hands-on service projects that promote community building and reflective engagement at local community organizations that are making a difference.

 

Help grow food for low income families, provide emergency meals & housing, enhance parks & trails, maintain space for animals (with animal playtime), or work toward affordable housing and housing equity.

 

Beavs Volunteer projects aim to:

  • Meet community-identified needs
  • Complete projects that enrich and strengthen the local community
  • Foster relationships and build community among OSU students and between OSU and the local community
  • Deliver experiential learning that builds community-engaged leadership skills

 

BEAVS SERVE

Join us for a term-long cohort-based service learning experience!

Dig deeper with a consistent group experience and a shared purpose. Beavs Serve is a cohort-based service program that brings students together for a deeper dive into social issues and leadership development. Each term, participants partner with a local organization focused on a specific theme (previous themes include: housing justice, food insecurity, and environmental justice) and explore related materials on Canvas that connect theory to action.

 

Throughout the term, your cohort will meet once a week to engage in direct service, reflect on learning materials, and grow leadership skills while having conversations about social responsibility, equity, and how to engage in changing the systems related to our shared purpose and topic.

 

Beavs Serve is ideal for students who want to:

  • Build a consistent relationship with a community partner
  • Develop leadership skills rooted in equity and justice
  • Learn alongside peers in a small, supportive cohort
  • Engage in critical reflection and purposeful service

I Learned a lot about the importance of sharing stories and experiences, as well as being socially conscious about social issues.
quote: We all can work together, despite our differences. Our differences are actually our strengths.
When people come together for a common cause, the benefits of working together can impact not only those in need but ourselves, too.
