Non-profit
organizations from across northeast Ohio set up tables at Tuesday’s
Community Service Fair with the hope of enticing Obies to volunteer.
More than 20 organizations competed for student volunteers.
Representatives
from Ohio PIRG, Hearthstone Assisted Living, the Mount Olivet Church
after school program, the annual Big Parade and many more were there to
attract students.
Those passing through the Science Center Atrium
were also treated to musical entertainment courtesy of the Oberlin Jazz
Trio at the event.
College sophomore Nick Rosano of Oberlin in
Solidarity with El Salvador said that more than 100 students stopped by
the group’s table. The student organization sends delegations during
Winter Term and the summer to do work such as volunteering at a local
radio station and teaching English.
