Central College will host its first volunteer event of the academic year this weekend.

Dozens of students are heading out to Lake Red Rock on Saturday to gather trash, plant trees and collect prairie seed to help the Red Rock Lake Association. This service project is held each year, with different tasks based on the Association’s needs. Throughout the school year, the Central Volunteer Center connects students to community partners who need volunteers. The next CVC event will be Fair Trade Week from October 20th to 25th.
