Become a Working group

Have an idea for a project, group or initiative and need help getting it off the ground? Reach out!

Working groups are groups that are supported (and sometimes started) by OPIRG, while remaining autonomous and separate. This gives groups freedom to work in the way that is best for them, but also the support that it takes to carry out their initiative.
