This after-school math club is making it count for elementary age students.

Marvelous Math Club — led in partnership with UNC Asheville — not only dynamically helps kids with homework completion and math support, but also strengthens students’ overall sense of self, community, and the capability to do more.

Here’s how the club is making an impact in kids lives (and how you can, too):

🙋 3 reasons to get involved

Marvelous Math Club relies on the help of volunteers + donors. More than 190 trained “Math Champions” (including 61 UNC Asheville students) have provided support to kids by:

  • Making math fun — The club emphasizes leadership skills in a safe space that makes math feel like play while also instilling important math concepts.
  • Going beyond the club — Teachers report increased student engagement, enthusiasm, self-confidence, and math proficiency in the classroom.
  • Building relationships — Volunteers and staff make a difference in kids lives by fostering community, modeling leadership, and leveraging student’s strengths.
