2023-2024 Service Theme: Mental Health and Wellness

Now that our circles and members can participate in both virtual and in-person service opportunities, we want to help you explore the range of organizations that may benefit from the contributions of time and talent from our members.

Circles that have not developed their signature service program are encouraged to consider adopting this theme. More resources will be available soon to assist circles in developing projects under this theme.

National Day of Service 2023

To inspire service to our community, OΔK hosts a National Day of Service each year on the second Thursday in April. OΔK’s 11th Annual National Day of Service was held on Thursday, April 13, 2023.

You can share how you or your circle have provided service to others by submitting a report here for 2023. Want to hear what our circles and members are doing to serve? Check out the inspiring 2023 stories of leadership and service here. Additionally, you may see the 2020, 2021 and 2022 stories by clicking on the respective year.

Circles are expected to complete a signature service program each year as part of Circle Minimum Standards. The program or project does need to be held on the National Day of Service, although that is a great way to support the Society. If the program is not held on the National Day of Service, then we hope your circle and members will post images and stories on social media from your event and tag O∆K. That way, you are sharing your community engagement activities on our day to recognize service.
