With so much going on at a national and local level, it is hard to know where and how to make a difference. At Drake, we are proudly 'of our place'. We celebrate our neighborhood, our city, and our many partnerships. This page is dedicated to the many ways that you (yes you) can make a positive difference for our communities in need.

Feeling stuck?  Let's get going!

Call your elected officials: 

Regardless of where you stand on the issues, calling your local, elected officials helps ensure they are aware of where their constituents stand.

  • Senator Joni Ernst - (515) 284-4574
  • Representative Zach Nunn, 3rd District -  (515) 400-8180

Write a 'love letter'

  • Join many of your fellow Drake students in writing a letter to local, elected officials.  More details here. (link TBD)

Random Acts of Kindness

  • Simply by being kind to another, makes a difference. If we all extend a little extra kindness, it adds up to a lot!
