Yesterday afternoon, Shellie (The VCSC Executive Director) and I went to Iowa State University to speak to a group of multi-cultural engineering students. The incoming freshmen are in a summer program called SPEED and part of the program requires community service.
First off, we shared this video that President Obama released earlier that day about his Summer Service Initiative. (Check it out!)
We then split into groups based on interestes and went to the Volunteer Center web site. The Students signed up for accounts and found opportunities that matched their interests. Those interested in sports are volunteering at the Iowa Games Tournament, those interested in agriculture/environment are volunteering at the Reiman Garden Rose Festival and those interested in Security/Event Staff are volunteering for the Ames 4th of July Festival.
Hope this video inspires you as well!
