This year Western University will be hosting our 8th annual OServes event on Saturday, September 7, 2024! We are so excited for our students to collaborate with local not-for-profit organizations in the London community and immerse themselves in a day of volunteering and service.  

What is OServes?

  • OServes is a day for incoming, first-year students to immerse themselves in the London community for a day of volunteering  and learning about local organzations. 
  • This allows students to be engaged and connected to the London community and learn how they can make a positive impact.

Program Vision

Create experiential learning opportunities for students to engage with the London community, gain experience, and contribute to the work of social enterprises, non-profit organizations, and community groups during OWeek. The intention for 2024 will be a continued focus on in-person on-campus events.

Student Learning Outcomes

  • Build meaningful connections with members of their student community
  • Foster meaningful connections with local non-profit organizations
  • Apply skills through experiential learning

Why your organization should participate

There are thousands of students expected to participate this year. It would be an excellent introduction to your organzation for incoming students and help more of them get involved throughout the year and in their upper years!
