Athens Student Action is a portal though which Ohio University and Hocking College students can connect with volunteer opportunities in the area. Students can come to ASA and find volunteer opportunities with each of the community organizations featured on the site. Athens Student Action will also endeavor to educate Ohio University and Hocking College students about the community in which they now live. Video and audio interviews with community members, volunteers, and community organizations will help students learn about community issues and what they can do to help.

If you join ASA, your organization will have a profile page with your logo or banner, a profile, your contact information, a link to your volunteer page, and links to your social media outlets. Students will be able to search for your organization by service keyword, location or alphabetically by name. Once a student finds you, they can access your site's volunteer page or contact your organization by e-mail or phone.

Athens Student Action was created to respond to a concern, felt by many organizations in this area, that Ohio University students are not as engaged in volunteerism in the Athens area as they could and should be. We want to reach out to Ohio University and Hocking College students and make it easier for them to find meaningful volunteer opportunities. We also want to highlight the importance of volunteerism in a well-rounded education.
