Have you done any volunteering at Carleton?

  • Margaret Taylor '10
    I help out with Arb restoration. It's quite cathartic to rip out buckthorn when I'm frustrated about homework.
  • Toff
    I'm a volunteer goodwill ambassador. Occasionally I also contribute to pest control.
  • Marquita Davis '09
    I have volunteered at the Assisted Learning Center at the Northfield Middle School, volunteered with Books for Africa, played basketball with youth in Fairbault through the M-TAG program, and helped with the Special Olympics.
  • Liz Evison '10
    I am a program director for Books for Africa, which collects and processes donated textbooks to be shipped to the African continent. We've recently collected a large number of books from the Carleton campus and the Northfield community, and led programs introducing middle school students to community service. I also enjoy helping with the Red Cross blood drive when it comes to campus every term.
  • Collin Hazlett '12 in Goodsell Observatory
    Fighting invasive buckthorn in the Arb.
  • Keven Tell '09 in Stimson House
    I have done a little volunteering around campus, helping with teaching science to elementary students as well as Girl Scouts. This year, I am also planning on volunteering at Northfield Hospital.
  • Peter Schlesinger '12 in the Arb
    I cleared the invasive buckthorn plant in the Arb during New Student Week. It was a surprisingly fun and even therapeutic experience.
