Kolderie Academic Assistance Center - Volunteering
Volunteering
Volunteering provides an excellent avenue for interested Cottey students to explore career options while helping the residents of the local community. Volunteer experiences give students an advantage in college admission, internships, scholarships, and in job placement. Students can volunteer almost anywhere. Popular volunteer sites include:
- Local elementary and middle schools
- Nevada Parks and Recreation
- Osage Prairie YMCA
- Council on Families In Crisis - Moss House
- WAGS - Wonderful Animals Giving Support
- Vernon County Historical Society
- Nevada Regional Medical Center
Individualized placements can be arranged based on student needs. Students interested in volunteering can check out these local volunteer sites or visit the Academic Assistance Center, located in the Rubie Burton Academic Center, room 164.
