Get Involved

Volunteer Opportunities

We need churches and individuals to partner with us to serve students. There are many ways that you can help, depending on your ability and the amount of time you have to invest. Here are a few of the ways to be involved:

Foundational Volunteers-Little time commitment (once or twice a semester)

  1. Send birthday/encouragement cards to students
  2. Invite your church/small group to collect apartment items for incoming students
  3. Help make welcome baskets for new students
  4. Come help us take new students on a shopping trip
  5. Ask your small group to bring a meal to OASIS
  6. Truck ministry-Have a truck? help deliver donations to students 
  7. Can attend OASIS meeting once without training
  8. Be a part of our prayer team (as often as you can)

Vetted Volunteers-Spend more time with students; Must go through cross-cultural training session and have a back-ground check 

  1. Can attend regular OASIS meetings if desired (not required)
  2. Can be a friendship partner to a student
  3. Help with temporary housing when students arrive
  4. Help with airport pickups
  5. Be a Welcomer at our donation “store”
  6. Help on trips and events

Volunteer Staff-

  1. Be a Team Coordinator (donation team, welcome team, activities team,…)
  2. Help with Bible study
  3. Help churches learn about our work and how they can be involved

These are only a few of the ways to help. If you are willing, we need you!

Volunteer Process

We host regular orientations via ZOOM call or in-person. We require everyone other than "Foundational Volunteers" to attend our cross-cultural training and a background check. You will be able to let us know in what capacity you'd like to serve students and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.  After volunteering for 1 year as a "Vetted Volunteer", you may be invited to become a volunteer "staff"/coordinator of a team.
