Do You Have A Talent? Volunteer To Make A Difference!

The following message is from UC’s GEAR UP program, housed in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services. GEAR UP, short for “Gaining Early Awareness And Readiness For Undergraduate Programs,” provides support, services and activities to help urban schoolchildren get on the pathway to college. The UC branch of the partnership is presently recruiting volunteers to share their talents in entertaining Saturday programs for sixth, seventh and eighth-graders.
