OPIRG organizes around issues of concern in working groups.
Each working group is unique, but they all use consensus decision-making, non-violence, and anti-racist principles. OPIRG provides free training workshops each term to assist students with developing these skills. Working Groups are free to join, and open to anyone interested in becoming active on important local and international issues.
