Whether you’re a High School student looking for a cool experience & volunteer hours*, a college student, a hobbyist or retired professional, we’re happy to hear from you!
*May require confirmation from school officials to count toward student volunteer hours (each school seems different). After a successful interview, we would provide you with a letter outlining the role and charitable aspects of Upchuckle Education to obtain this confirmation and approval.
