Drake Serves

Volunteering during Covid can be easy, fun, and impactful! Your student can make a big difference from the comfort of their room, and on their own schedule.

• Help a young person succeed academically by participating in virtual tutoring with one of several local organizations.
• Get crafty and make T-shirt tote bags for the local food bank or refugee organization – these tote bags make it convenient and environmentally friendly for people to carry their items.
• Love to read? Share that with a local youth – record yourself reading your favorite children’s book.
• Make the news accessible for all – read news stories that will be broadcast to the blind and print handicapped in Iowa.
• Itching to volunteer in person? There are a limited number of in-person, socially-distanced opportunities available, as well!

Learn more about these opportunities and more at www.drake.edu/volunteer.
