What is Campus Cruisers?

BeGreat Together, in collaboration with three UMKC students, launched an innovative internship program called Campus Cruisers, aimed at empowering students to become catalysts for positive change within local public schools.

Campus Cruisers, spearheaded by UMKC students and alumni Arianna Hirsch, Jenna Kiefer, and Regan Rudicel, with support from professor Misty Campbell, has been developed as part of BeGreat Together's DocuCourse Narrative Transformation and Community Impact class, taught at UMKC in fall 2023. This groundbreaking internship program offers unique opportunities for individuals to actively engage and volunteer in local public education institutions, providing invaluable service and support to both teachers and students.
