Volunteers are Essential
Volunteers are valued members of OSU Extension. Volunteers contribute their skills, talents, and experiences to strengthen all aspects of Extension programs and support our mission.
Safety is our Priority
Extension is committed to creating a safe environment for youth and volunteers to thrive. The quality of Extension programs and the safety of our participants and the people we work with require the selection of volunteers to be of the utmost priority.
