Volunteerism
Discover your volunteer passion
Make a difference across our communities this spring with Buckeye Days of Service (April 1–15)
Join us and show your Buckeye Pride
Together, we’ve accomplished something extraordinary — and we are not finished yet!
This spring marks a historic time at Ohio State. 800,000 Buckeyes (and counting!) have donated to Time and Change: The Ohio State Campaign — and there’s still time to be a part of it.
Being a Buckeye means more than just giving back—we pay forward and this campaign encompasses far more than financial contributions alone. It’s also about the countless volunteers from all 50 states and across the globe who’ve generously given their time to better our communities and make this campaign extraordinary.
Now, you can join this historic celebration. Show your Ohio State pride from April 1–15 through special opportunities that highlight the limitless possibilities when Buckeyes come together. Now is our time!
Volunteer, pay forward and support your passion at Ohio State.
For the next generation of Buckeyes
When we serve together, we show future Buckeyes what it means to be part of something bigger than themselves. Each act of kindness plants a seed that grows into tomorrow’s leaders, creating an endless chain that strengthens the Buckeye spirit for generations to come.
Special Family Friday event
Join us April 11 for a special Family Friday event focused on volunteerism and Buckeye pride! Enjoy family- friendly entertainment, snacks, Buckeye crafts and treats while exploring ways to connect, engage and build fellowship within the Buckeye community, with volunteerism opportunities woven throughout.

“You can never really pay back. You can only pay forward.”
The pay forward sentiment is one of Ohio State’s most treasured traditions. Each one of our unique efforts – as alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, fans and friends – is multiplied by the collective strength of the Buckeye community.
Thank you for being extraordinary
Throughout Time and Change: The Ohio State Campaign, you have demonstrated that the possibilities are endless when Buckeyes come together.
