Altrusa International of Ames is a thriving branch in the greater Altrusa International organization, leading by the principle that small efforts in local communities can lead to great impacts. As part of Altrusa’s District Seven, Altrusa International of Ames is focused on exactly that: volunteering our time, money, and individual efforts toward a collective effort to make our local community of Ames, Iowa a better place than it was before. We have many annual service projects, a major annual fundraiser that supports grant initiatives, and ad hoc projects that support as necessary.
We are a cross-generational group. A few of us still work full-time and are still actively raising families. Several of us have retired from wonderful careers and are enjoying grandparenting. This year, our Altrusans include a retired florist, a graphic designer, a communications coach, a writer, and so many others who come together to bring their unique professional and personal talents together to benefit their community through volunteering.
And we have lots of fun along the way! We are excited learners, inviting people from our local community into our business meetings for our monthly programs to learn more about the Ames community. Altrusans build strong friendships through intentional fellowship and love cheering on the local university team together–Go Iowa State Cyclones!
