Those who participate will be able to have fun in the dirt, while also helping an Environmental Studies Senior Experience project come to life, and perhaps earn some volunteer hours along the way.

Students asked to work with residents to build this shed! Other activities may include helping with barbecue! You’re welcome to go for any amount of time you wish within the stated hours, and you don’t have to attend both days. Whatever time you can contribute is appreciated! Walking distance from campus.
Community Agency/Organization: COTS, Inc
Date: ANY DAY Monday-Thursday from 9am-12pm
Where: 819 S. West Avenue, Appleton (walking distance)
Contact person for event: Kristi Ruff, kristina.m.ruff@lawrence.edu, 719-648-8327
Description of Event/Project: Homeless people often lack crucial job skills. At COTS, we have a greenhouse we use to help residents learn some of these skills and get used to a job-like setting. This opportunity allows students to work with COTS residents in their greenhouse doing gardening and composting work and various related activities. You can go and help out for any amount of time within that 3 hour chunk – you don’t have to stay the whole time. You can also choose what day of the week to go. (If you are around for the end of the shift, there is a meal provided). Please just contact with approximate hours you think you’d attend. Again, it doesn’t need to be the whole time – it can even be just an hour one time!
