The OCC was created to be an inviting space for programs and events that foster friendships, memories, education and fun! There are many different ways to get involved.
Oxford Community Center works because of volunteers! We have volunteers who make a weekly commitment and those who come in for special occasions. The Community Center staff and board welcome your gift of time and talent.
Keri-Ann Thomas is our volunteer coordinator. If you have any questions or need more information please don’t hesitate to contact her at events@oxfordcc.org.
