Our ultimate goal in leadership is to use what we’ve learned to impact the world around us. Each semester, our Journeymen partner with local and national philanthropies to help them raise funds. Recent partnerships include the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and Typhoon Ondoy relief in the Philippines.

Beyond raising money for charitable organizations, DOZ also encourages direct service to the community and holds many service days each year. This year, we volunteered at KEEN LA, a program dedicated to encouraging children with disabilities to exercise, and Casa de Rosas, a local women’s shelter.

Our actives also participate in Relay for Life and Dance Marathon, in which we raised over $1,000 for cancer research this year! Our contributions to the community extend beyond our organization as our members participate in many community oriented groups such as Teach for America, Helenes, Habitat for Humanity, the Joint Educational Project, Women and Youth Supporting Each Other, the Emergency Medical Services of USC, Alternative Spring Breaks, and many, many more. Demonstrating enthusiastic service and active leadership in such groups, DOZers prioritize giving back to their community.

Our philanthropy program is constantly growing, along with our fraternity. If you would like to be a part of it, check out our Rush page!
