Volunteering for UR Osher
Osher UR Give Back Program
The Osher UR Give Back program provides opportunities for our Osher members to volunteer within the University of Richmond community. Members volunteer as a form of “giving back” to the University of Richmond for its continuing support of our Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. As Osher members, we enjoy full library access, gorgeous facilities and grounds, IT support, and, of course, our Osher courses!
There are many fun ways to volunteer at UR. The following selection highlights ways you might be able to serve in the Give Back program:
- Volunteers to help with SPCS Regalia Pick Up
