The OAANY recognizes that many Oxford alumni and friends are interested in contributing to the tri state area community as well as benefiting from it. Many of you already participate in your local area in a variety of ways and through a large number of volunteer organizations. The OAANY has launched a new initiative to provide additional opportunities for Oxford alumni and friends to volunteer in their local communities. We believe that this will help enhance the profile of Oxford University in the region and provide worthwhile and rewarding activities for alumni and friends.

Below are some examples of the opportunities that exist.
