OCI Program Highlights:
Kickoff Trails Service Project:
This project is intended to introduce new students to our amazing local trail system, get to know other students and make a positive impact on the community. We will work with the Gallatin Valley Land Trust on local trail needs the Sunday before the fall semester begins.
Fall Community Involvement Fair:
In early September the office hosts a two day event outside on the Centennial Mall where 30-40 area community-based organizations come to campus to solicit your help as a volunteer, intern or a work-study staff member with their organization. Come meet some amazing non profit leaders and learn from them first hand how you can be part of thier work to strengthen our community.
BreaksAway:
Instead of going to Cancun for spring break, students choose to travel to another part of the country and provide service to a community in need. We typically send 3-5 trips each spring break, so there are a variety of options available to you. Check out the BreaksAway section of our website to find out more about this great program.
Service Saturdays:
Once a month we mobilize the MSU community to servce in the local community. Taking place the 1st Saturday of the month, October through April, this is a perfect way for busy students to get involved in the community!, meet great new people and have a positive impact in the Bozeman area.
MSU America Reads*America Counts:
If you enjoy working with kids, this program is for you! We match volunteers with local school kids who need assistance in math or literacy. Volunteer and work-study positions are available. Please check out the MSU America Reas*America Counts portion of our website to learn more.
