Volunteers are UPSTAR’s most valuable resource. We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are keen to learn more about the challenges students in underserved families are facing and are keen to develop their personal competencies.
Volunteers are assisted by a dedicated team of Mentors who share their experiences and guide volunteers through difficult situations.
