Cornell College students are using their spring break to make a difference through volunteer work.
This year, Cornellians are spending an intensive week at three locations, dedicating their time to support the mission of ending hunger at Feeding South Dakota in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, building inclusive and just communities with Kansas Appleseed in Kansas City, Missouri, and supporting animal welfare at Crane Trust in Wood River, Nebraska.
Orel also helps train and prepare the student leaders for each trip. Madeleine Koenigsberg is one of those student leaders.
The English major from Conifer, Colorado, says she looks forward to helping people and bonding with students who sign up to go on on the alternative break trips.
“The people who signed up and are going are passionate about community service,” Koenigsberg said.
“Any time you can donate to helping others is always time well spent,” Koenigsberg said.
