Knights Who Serve

Paperwork
Some sites require an application or additional paperwork prior to volunteering. Consult with a Knights Who Serve staff member to see what paperwork you might need to complete.  

Each semester, Knights Who Serve receives many requests from community members and non-profits who are looking for volunteers. If you are interested in any of the opportunities below, please contact vac@wartburg.edu for more information. 

• Childcare assistant 
  Childcare assistants and/or substitute for in-home child care. Substitute and assistants must pass a DHS background check. Substitutes must also be CPR and 1st Aid certified; but the organization can help reimburse the cost of classes if they are needed.
• Iowa College AmeriCorps Program (ICAP) was created to increase levels of volunteerism among college students in Iowa as part of their academic experience, while engaging them in their local campus community. Members help meet the greatest needs in their local campus community by volunteering 300 hours of service during an academic year. Upon successful completion of service ICAP members receive a $1,132 Education Award.
• Working with Elderly
  There is an ongoing need for volunteers from 10 am-12 pm on Saturdays at Bartels.  They would like to have a few volunteers to come give manicures to the residents.

Knights Who Serve recognizes that there are many student volunteer hours that go undocumented each year. In order for us to capture the most accurate estimate of how many volunteer hours Wartburg students give in a year we need your help!

Whether you volunteered by yourself, with a team, or another student group, please let us know what you did! This information is utilized by Student Life when applying for national awards like the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

• Student Volunteer Hours Report Form
  Please use this form to report any volunteer projects you, your athletic team or your student group (student organization, Res Hall Floor, etc) has organized or responded to. Any service participated in as an organized activity of Knights Who Serve, i.e. MLK Day, or a service-learning class does not need to be reported on this form. Questions may be directed to vac@wartburg.edu or x8641.
