Our choices and actions

All systems in the world are maintained by people like you and me. Our choices and actions shape the world. What we do and how we think matters.

Structure

In ODW, we are all volunteers, led by a young leader supported by a few adult staff members and an elected youth committee.

In each participating school, a school committee organizes the campaign at the local level. District committees across the country coordinate the campaign regionally, while the national committee oversees the districts and designs the overall campaign. These committees meet regularly, spread information in schools and communities, and have a lot of fun along the way! Together, we reach tens of thousands of students and teachers at around 500 secondary schools, upper secondary schools, and folk high schools.

Hire a student for a day

Looking to get work done at an affordable price while giving a young student valuable work experience and making the world a better place? Hire a student on ODW Day!

For 300-400 NOK, you can get help with tasks such as cleaning the house, painting your fence or managing social media at work. All while creating a more just world. Thousands of young people are ready to step up on the ODW-day. The money they earn will support a better life for thousands of young people in other parts of the world.

Join the movement!

If your school participates in Operation Day's Work, the entire school can work together towards a more just world, along other schools all over Norway. If your school chooses to take part, you choose to join a movement that has been shaping lives for over fifty years. With your support, Operation Day's Work will continue to unite millions of students in Norway for a better future.

Development aid organizations in Norway are invited to apply for the year's ODW project. The students earn about 20 million kroner each year.
