There are wonderful opportunities for students instead of getting caught in the bubble of college life to get involved in the community and prove that they can affect change at the local level.

Students and community members alike are realizing that the college is here for them and that they can save a significant amount in terms of higher education. With people embracing their local community college, our numbers will continue to grow.

We will work one on one with students. We'll have college access advisers in the schools full time.

Volunteers represent all ages and walks of life. We have college students as well as retirees. Everyone helps however they can. For some, this means doing the actual repairs. Others, we call the support team, run errands and bring food, water and Gatorade to those on site.

I don't think it's bad for college students to have credit cards. They are a fact of life and it's naïve to think they won't (have the cards).
