Mountainland Technical College (MTECH) partnered with the United Way of Utah County for a day of service. The United Way focuses on mobilizing local communities through hundreds of volunteers throughout the country to improve their own community.
MTECH volunteers came together on the National Day of Caring, September 14, 2023, ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work helping with two different service projects.
Early in the day, volunteers assisted with school success projects at Foothill Elementary School in Orem, Utah by painting stencils for the students to enjoy on the playground.
Later that day, volunteers moved over to Kids Who Count in Salem, Utah. Here, volunteers spent their time cleaning gutters, assisting with ground maintenance, gardening, and helping assemble learning packets.
It is important to MTECH to give back to the community and help promote the growth of education throughout the state. The United Way is a wonderful organization that connects MTECH with service projects throughout the different counties.
This experience not only impacted local students, but allowed volunteers to come together with each other and local businesses to form an even bigger community.
Mark Middlebrook, Outreach Manager at MTECH, shared “We helped each school save hundreds of dollars by doing these projects by purchasing the paint for the playground. Hours of enjoyment will allow the student to enjoy playing on new playground games and will be able to use the education resources to learn.”
