Volunteering with OST is an invitation to step behind the scenes and help the stories unfold. Our work depends on the passion and talents of volunteers who share their time and skills to bring storytelling to life throughout the city. Whether you craft words, capture moments through a lens, create striking visuals, or spread the word on social media, your contribution enriches our collective voice.

Students seeking volunteer hours and anyone eager to make a difference are warmly welcomed into our circle.
