Page 11 A m e r i C o r p s r e c r u i t s n e c e s s a r y v o l u n t e e r s By KELLY DEVLIN Prospector Staff Writer Carroll College is reaching out to the Helena community like never before. With a new AmeriCorps Campus Corps program already well established, Carroll students have more opportunities to get involved in their community than ever before. “AmeriCorps is a way students can get involved with the Helena community right off the bat,” said Heather Hass, Carroll College AmeriCorps team leader. “No matter what your major is, we can find something meaningful for stu dents to do in the community.” Campus Corps is a branch of AmeriCorps that sponsors campus community service events, and is new to Carroll this year. Make a Difference Day kicked off Car- roll service projects on campus in October. Some students spent the day volunteering with Prickly Pear Land Trust. “We carved a trail in the side of a mountain,” said Hass. “It was hard work, but really fun.” Students not quite up for moun tainous labor volunteered either at the Good Samaritan Thrift Store, with the Rocky Mountain Devel opment Council doing yard work for the elderly, or putting on a haunted house for children with the YMCA. Spring semester will be packed with AmeriCorps volunteer oppor tunities on campus. The organiza tion sponsors a diversity fair with Helena elementary school students on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January. And National Youth Service Day will allow students to give back to the community through the eyes of elementary school children. “Students ask children what should be done in the community, and Americorps makes it happen,” said Hass. Carroll freshmen are participat ing in Campus Corps through a new program which allows every floor in Guad to sponsor a com munity service organization. Each floor voted on a group to sponsor; among those selected were Habitat for Humanity, the Friendship Cen ter, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Hel ena Food Share, and the Florence Crittenton Home. Seven students appointed “students in service” inform the floor of any upcoming service opportunities with their adopted organization. “It’s a way freshmen can get in volved with their community,” said Hass. “No matter where you end up, you will be in Helena for four See AMERICORPS, Page 16 Don't get hosed by your wireless company.
