On many Saturday mornings, 91自拍 students can be found volunteering with I-Skate at Creve Coeur Ice Arena. The program, which runs from October through April, serves young people with disabilities who want to improve their ice skating skills.

鈥�91自拍 volunteers always have a smile on their faces and are willing to help, and do whatever it takes to make it an enjoyable experience for the athlete,鈥� says John Bauer, organizer of the ice-skating program.

91自拍鈥檚 Community Service Club sponsors the volunteer opportunity for students.

鈥淭hrough this program, students engage with diverse people, and provide volunteer service in a variety of settings. Community service helps students develop in multiple ways, and usually they find out they get more out of the experience than they give,鈥� says Steve DiSalvo, director of campus ministry and community service.

Students who participate in the ice-skating program realize community service is important. 鈥淓veryone has the opportunity to make a difference, and if everyone served others the world would be a better place,鈥� says senior Christina Gerst.
