Volunteer to help the UMB Outreach Council

About CLUB UMB

The CLUB UMB Program is an initiative of the UMB Outreach Council that strives to provide enriched educational, health, and career experiences and opportunities for school children through a coordinated partnership of the campus with targeted local partner schools. Volunteer UMB students, faculty, and staff are needed to help mentor, tutor, and support youth at one of the following schools:

George Washington Elementary School, 800 Scott St.,
Diggs Johnson Middle School, 1300 Herkimer St.

Volunteers will receive mentorship and safety training and will be required to have a background check.

Beginning September 2009, UMB students eligible for Federal Work Study can earn $17 per hour for mentoring through CLUB UMB. Contact the UMB Financial Aid Office at (410) 706-7347 to find out if you’re eligible.
