Volunteering around Boulder


This semester has really freed up my schedule as far as extracurriculars go: I'm much more aware of what my classes are going to require of me time-wise and so I decided to find some new activities to get involved in around Boulder. What I found was a vast array of opportunities, from the school's radio station, Radio 1190, to reading and interacting with senior citizens a few days a week near campus.

Tomorrow I start my main commitment, one that I'm really excited about- CU Gold. CU Gold is a leadership development program based on campus and open to anyone, all you have to do is turn in an application. The program meets once a week and requires members to attend a one-time weekend retreat (paid for by the program) in Estes Park.

I'm hoping that CU Gold will help me meet other students who are interested in getting involved on campus, who I usually find to be really friendly and interesting people. These are only a few of the things you can participate in on campus, which I highly recommend- not only do you meet people who have similar interests to you, but you have a good resume builder too. :)
