olunteers provided services Volunteer Service started in 1969 with a ndful of students, but grew to include more han 200 people in eight programs. According to oordinator Mr. Dale Tramp. much of this involve- ient could be attnbuted to the fact that volun- leering was fun and offered many rewaras. he nursing home programs were the largest, with approximately 150 students participating. Mem- bers visited Ames nursing homes monthly and de- veloped friendships with residents. |t made me realize that no matter how old you are, you need omeone to care about you. We felt they really needed us, commented Anne Lowary. One program that increased in size was the Sup- ort Group. Involved students met weekly TO pro- vide peer counseling and share feelings. Though only five students were Big Buddies, those involved felt the program was important. “It was realy good experience because we helped young kids that needed guidance. The kids ap- preciated having someone older come and help them with their school work,” stated Steve Cox. In the academic area, the main volunteer pro- grams were the Student Tutoring Service and the Elementary Volunteer Service. Volunteers in- volved in these programs provided assistance to students of all ages. Ihe Volunteer Service performed the function of allowing students to provide a service for people in need. This was important for the volunteers and those they helped, emphasized Mr. Tramp. MAKING FRIENDS. Laurey Reynolds visits with a River- side resident.
