Leadership Southwestern in
Search of Homes for Freshman Work Day
Winfield, Kan., April 21, 2022 — Leadership Southwestern is in search of
houses and non-profit buildings that they can work on for the annual Freshman
Work Day on August 7.
Freshman Work Day is one of the final days of Southwestern College
orientation for the incoming 2022-23 freshman class. All freshman head out into
the Winfield community to work on homes and non-profit buildings that need
repair, painting, cleaning, or yard work. This event creates a positive change
and outcome of an individual and local level. Freshman Work Day was started by
the Leadership program in 1992 with the goal of establishing positive
relationships between Southwestern College and the community in Winfield.
Leadership student Cierra Harrison, along with Caitlin Estrin, and Coye
Campbell are in search of homes and non-profit buildings that can be worked
on.
“If you, or someone you know, lives or has an organization/company in the
Winfield community that has a job for the freshman and volunteers, please
contact us for more information or any questions,” Harrison says. “This
includes repairs, painting, cleaning, and/or yard work that would take at least
a couple of hours. Our goal as a Leadership team is to have at least 18 sites
for the incoming freshman and volunteers.”
For more information or to request the services of the incoming freshman,
contact Brae Wood, director of Leadership Southwestern, at (620) 229-6393 or
email Harrison at cierra.harrison@sckans.edu.
