Coming from out of state, Eleanor felt like she needed something to ground herself in her new Lincoln community. Leaning on her strengths and past experiences, volunteering became a routine that helped Eleanor find her footing.
“I volunteered a lot in high school and have been passionate about it for a long time, so I just signed up for a volunteering newsletter,” Eleanor says. “That’s where I first learned about the ambassadors program.”
The SLICE (Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement) Volunteer Ambassadors Program matches Husker students with local nonprofits and organizations in need of support, placing students in positions related to their interests. Eleanor, a pre-health student, spent a semester volunteering weekly in Bryan Health’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
