Volunteers and mentors play a key role in the success of our program. We rely on our volunteers to further our mission and help with different program activities. Student mentors serve as young role models for our children and also serve as teaching assistants. If you would like to be one of our volunteers or become a student mentor, please email us at: info@ucmusicproject.org.
