Country Club Christian Church provides volunteers to encourage and support students and teachers at Hartman Elementary School. Hartman, part of the Kansas City Schools (KCPS) is located at 8111 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO 64114. Volunteer opportunities are diverse, entail a variety of skills and interests, and are offered at different times of the day. Volunteers can choose from regular, on-going activities, one-time or episodic events throughout the school year. Our partnership works closely with the KCPS Partners In Education Office volunteer coordinator to follow school district volunteer policies to ensure all of our volunteers have a safe, positive and mutually beneficial experience.

Our partnership also provides volunteers for the Local Invest Commission (LINC) Before and After-School Program at Hartman. LINC is a non-profit organization that partners with the school district to support children and families by offering recreational and academic activities including homework help, sports, chess and healthy snacks.

In addition, our volunteers play an important role in the fight against child hunger by sacking and delivering Harvesters BackSnacks to Hartman and Garfield Schools each week during the school year. These meals provide healthy food for children who do not have enough to eat over the weekend.

Our church is also a funding partner for Take the Stage, a weekly one-hour dance class for Hartman 4th graders, that helps students develop self-discipline skills, an appreciation for excellence and self-confidence that positively impacts all aspects of their lives. Church members are invited to help support this worthwhile program by attending dance performances in December and in May.
