Service Learning - Volunteer
Help kids envision their Phuture
You might be the inspiration a kid needs to consider college.
Remember what it's like to be a 5th grader? Every college-aged person seems so cool. So put together, so self-assured, so composed. As a Role Model for Phuture Phoenix campus visits, the group of students on your tour will really look up to you. They'll love asking you questions and learning more about how you decided to go to college and why they should be thinking about it too. You'll receive training to provide engaging tours, and you won't be alone; class teachers and fellow UW-Green Bay students will support you as you inspire the next generation of learners.
Phuture Phoenix Dates: Volunteers Needed!
Sign up to volunteer for a day, but you can earn a free credit if you participate both days in a semester! Volunteers are always welcome. There is no deadline to sign up to volunteer.

"One of the fifth graders gave me a shoulder hug and said she had so much fun and was so happy I was her role model. We talked for the entire lunch hour about what she wanted to be and how far she wanted to go."
