Volunteer
Help us welcome the OSU community!
Carmen House exists to welcome students, faculty, and the broader community to explore the wisdom of Jesus Christ for academic life and human flourishing. Hospitality is a big part of how we do that. Whether you enjoy cooking, welcoming people, helping with events, or simply making a space feel warm and inviting, there are many ways to serve with Carmen House.
Have something else in mind? We love creative ideas—let’s connect and get you plugged in.
