Opportunities Outside of the Stillwater Area

At the Student Volunteer Center, we recognize that OSU's students come from across the state, across the country, and across the world. Students should seek out opportunities for service no matter where they are located, so below are a few agencies that offer volunteer opportunities outside of the Stillwater area. If your agency would like to become a partner of the SVC, please send an email with your organization's information to volunteer.center@okstate.edu or submit a Request for Volunteers. We are always excited to find more ways our OSU volunteers can get involved!
