Partners

The OHSAA Foundation and UGIVE have partnered to help Ohio schools make a difference through the OHSAA Foundation’s community service initiative, “Foundation Service Week.” Part of the OHSAA Foundation’s mission is to provide service opportunities for Ohio’s student-athletes and UGIVE is a non-profit organization on a mission to catalyze, excite and empower the next generation of volunteers.

They make philanthropy relevant to students, guiding them to give their time and talents to build communities.  Through the newly formed partnership, OHSAA member schools participating in Foundation Service Week will complete the Service Week application process online through UGIVE.ORG. 

UGIVE is 100% focused on student volunteers and bridges the gap between schools participating in community service, charities desperately in need of volunteers, and the students who have the time, energy and passion to volunteer. Schools and students can search the UGIVE site and calendar for activities that match their interests and schedules. 

Charities on UGIVE.ORG confirm the students who volunteer, creating an online community service resume for students that can be used for graduation requirements, college application and scholarships, or job applications. UGIVE.ORG also provides free tools to schools to track service of their students, foster group volunteering and promote service in the school. 

All high schools in Ohio are given free access to the UGIVE platform and each school can create its own "high school portal" to manage specific school service projects and/or requirements. 

Any high school student in Ohio can create a free online profile, search relevant volunteer opportunities, and begin making a difference in their community and beyond.  UGIVE is 100% focused on high school students, so parents, teachers and schools know that the volunteer opportunities are appropriate for high school students.

                UGIVE was conceptualized and founded in Cincinnati by community leaders Cris Collinsworth, Anthony Munoz, Deanna Castellini, Tom Hiltz, Karen Cassidy and Craig Young. The organization is funded by charitable contributions and is 100% free to students, schools and charities across the state of Ohio.
