The Ohio State University; SL Social Change

Student Life’s Social Change department works to connect Ohio State students with volunteer engagements on campus and in the surrounding community. Social Change focuses specifically on programming for individuals, families, and communities, facing poverty. The Social Change programmatic thrust is demonstrated through organizing, advocacy, economic development, philanthropy, leadership development, participatory research, socially responsive behavior, and formal action. Social Change Student Ambassadors provide direct service, administer curriculum, and recruit hundreds of volunteers. Social Change honors the diversity of human experience through sustained relationships, knowledge sharing, and inclusivity.

The Ohio State University; Office of Student Life; Social Change prioritizes and empowers surrounding communities through mentorship, leadership development, access, and neighborhood engagement. Our comprehensive programming collaborates with individuals and families facing generational poverty by mobilizing university resources, both human and fiscal, to advance the well-being of humanity.
