Aurelia Igielinski

Hi! I'm Aurelia and I am a third year majoring in Environmental Public Health. I have been on the Buck-I-SERV board for the past two years, but I have been participating in trips since my freshman year. I have been lucky enough to go on two trips: the first being to New Orleans, Louisiana where I planted trees in the marshes to support the local ecosystems; the second being a trip to Oklahoma where I was able to serve alongside members of the Cherokee Nation. Both of these trips have been so influential to my time here at Ohio State, where I have met many wonderful people and my love for service has only grown. Donating to our fundraiser will help many of my fellow Ohio State students have the same opportunities to explore new communities and serve alongside impactful organizations, whether it be international or abroad. Thank you!


About Buck-I-SERV

Buck-I-SERV is The Ohio State University’s Alternative Break Program, housed within the Office of Student Life’s Leadership and Community Engagement department. What began as a single student-led trip in 2003 has grown into a nationally recognized program that has facilitated more than 1,000 service experiences across 30 states and 14 countries in partnership with over 150 community organizations. Through immersive, community-centered service trips, Buck-I-SERV provides students with opportunities to learn, lead, reflect, and deepen their understanding of social justice issues- from environmental conservation to housing access, youth support, and more. 

Your gift directly opens the door for more students to experience these transformational trips. By supporting the Buck-I-SERV program, you help reduce financial barriers that may otherwise prevent students from participating. Donor contributions strengthen our Student Access Fund and help subsidize overall trip costs, making programs more affordable and accessible.  

Every donation, no matter the size, supports students’ ability to engage in meaningful service-learning, build lasting community partnerships, and carry a lifelong commitment to service back to campus and beyond.
