UCAN opens doors!

UCAN is a student-run, community service network at the University of Massachusetts Amherst that is dedicated to providing the Amherst Regional Public Schools with well-equipped UMass volunteers. UCAN understands the meaning of a busy college life and provides flexible volunteering hours as well as activities for every interest and talent. UCAN consists of six different volunteer programs ranging from working with students one-on-one to helping out with lunch and recess duty, art programs and afterschool games. UMass students volunteer on a weekly basis in all three Amherst public elementary schools (Wildwood, Crocker Farm, and Fort River), in the Amherst Regional Middle School, and in the Amherst Regional High School. UCAN recruits at the beginning and end of each semester in hopes of finding even more dedicated UMass volunteers!
