If your precious free time is spent staring blankly at a television screen, perhaps you'd like to do something more constructive. One way to make use of that time is to lend a helping hand as a volunteer. Step outside the boundaries of campus and there is a world of need waiting for a big smile and an extended hand. There is a cornucopia of opportunity in Des Moines.

They're full of energy, and there is just a genuine concern to help in our missions. They are always helping to ease our workload. Julie Schneider is Community Services Coordinator for YESS, the Youth Emergency Services and Shelter. Schneider took note of the personal improvement which comes along with volunteer work. It helped me find the field that was best suited for me.
