Next Steps:

1. If you are interested in a one-time opportunity contact us at info@unitedcc.org. Please keep in mind we require a Volunteer Application, waiver and/ or a background check, depending on the volunteer activity. For one-time events we need at least two weeks notice to coordinate with program teams.

Keep in mind we need at least 7-14 days to organize a volunteer placement which will start AFTER all application materials are received.

UCC Schools aim to encourage a love of reading and literacy among students of all ages. To do this, we need ample books available for children's home libraries as well as our classroom libraries. You can help by donating gently used books for ages 3-1

Due to COVID and staffing challenges, we would ask that all books be in good condition and be divided by age levels. Early Education (ages 2-5) Early Elementary (ages 6-8), Elementary (ages 8-11) Middle School (ages 12-14).
Most books indicate what grades or ages they can be used for, or this information could be accessible via Amazon.

Please contact us to coordinate a book drive and schedule a drop-off. Thank you!
