At UMKC, volunteers give of their time and expertise on alumni committees, advisory boards and friends organizations. They mentor our students, advise our deans and help us grow.
Additional opportunities are also advertised via our month electronic alumni newsletter eRoos and via email, depending on need and time restraints.
University-wide Volunteer Opportunities
UMKC is proud to have more than 60 constituent organizations working on its behalf. If you have an interest in serving on an advisory board, joining a committee or volunteering in support of an academic unit, contact us and our staff will be happy to match you to a meaningful volunteer opportunity at UMKC.
UMKC Professional Career Escalators is an exciting new program that is open to any major program that connects students to career and academic guidance from day one, helping them pay for school and steering them toward a clear path for a bright future.
