The UC STEP was established in 2013 in order to offer young people an opportunity to engage in meaningful service projects that improve the quality of life in Union County. The next UC STEP event is scheduled to take place on December 17th at Kean University, where students will be able to continue contributing to community-building efforts. Union County encourages students to register to attend.
