Get Involved

UCAN is always looking for more volunteers at the beginning and end of each semester. Look for flyers around campus and follow us on facebook and twitter to be notified of when the next informational meeting is!

When becoming a UCAN volunteer we ask that you come to the information session as well as accepted volunteer meeting!

Yes, we did say accepted volunteers! One of UCAN’s goals is to make sure there is a safe and stable environment for the students in the Amherst School Systems. One part of that is applying to ensure that we have committed and dedicated volunteers. Weekly visits to the program of your choice is important as it allows the programs to run smooth and don’t forget the students miss you when you’re not there! It is also important that we cori check our volunteers to make sure we are creating a safe environment within the schools.

Other Opportunities with UCAN:
In addition to volunteering, there are also other ways to get involved. UCAN is always looking for individuals who want to take on leadership roles or who have an expertise in web design, graphic design, journalism or communications . To find out about these opportunities, contact us or attend one of our informational sessions.

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!
