Volunteering with the SSC
Get involved with the SSC! We offer many opportunities to participate with all our student-led initiatives, from one-time volunteer events to our term- or year-long leadership development program. Volunteer opportunities can range from working at the Produce Drops, getting your hands dirty at the Grove Garden, attending work parties on the river with our Habitat Restoration team, to facilitating activities that help reduce climate anxiety. Sign up for our newsletter, follow our Instagram (@uo_ssc), or check out our events calendar below for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
SSC Leadership and Engagement Program
Students who want to get involved with the SSC also have the option to become a part of the SSC’s Leadership and Engagement Program. Students who participate will join one of the SSC’s program teams throughout the term and work with a group of other students who are interested in the same topic. The LEP is accepting volunteers for this term and academic year! Fill out our volunteer interest form to be notified about our upcoming LEP orientations.

Habitat Restoration is returning to Hendricks Park for our last work party of winter term!
Where: We will be meeting in the parking lot/picnic area in Hendricks Park- the intersection of Floral Hill Dr. and Fairmount Blvd.
What: This work party will be in two parts: The first two hours will focus on restoration work, then afterwards we will be offering an hour log bonus activity! We will be using wood chips to help some recently planted native plants survive through the winter, as well as hanging out and learning about invasive species in the Eugene area, why we label them as invasive, and some environmental philosophy about the removal of invasives.
Beginners are always welcome, absolutely no experience is necessary! Please come prepared with close-toed shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a water bottle. We hope to see you there!
NO SIGN-UP NECESSARY!
1:00–4:00 p.m.
