Oles live on the Hill and in Northfield - and they care for their home.
Since the start of the academic year, students have been a part of the community through:
- More than 800 hours tutoring kids in K-8 with reading and math skills
- Over 325 hours assisting with afterschool programming
- Addressing food security with the Community Action Center, an organization that serves over 35% of neighbors in Rice County
This is more than just class credit, or work-study. This is playing an important role in the health and wellbeing of their adopted home.
Support them as they serve their community.
Exciting News! A generous donor couple has offered another $20,000 if 100 more donors give today! Make your gift now!
84 days ago by Sarah SheldonWhat do the folks that Oles work with current students in the Northfield community have to say?
“The St. Olaf students aren’t just workers or mentors — they are friends, role models, and a source of joy for our elementary school students at the Northfield Public Schools after school Community School programming! The connections they build in our Community School program create a sense of belonging, inspiration, and the kind of support that makes a lasting impact on both sides.”
Supporting community-based work study students builds impact.
