April 23, 2013 - Universal Technical Institute Keeps "Give Kids The World" Program Rolling

For the past eight months, auto instructors at the Orlando campus of Universal Technical Institute (UTI) have donated routine maintenance services to all the fleet vehicles at Give Kids The World Village. The 70-acre, nonprofit resort provides weeklong, cost-free Orlando dream vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, and relies on several fleet vehicles that are used for everything from groundskeeper purposes to guest transportation.

“Our contribution to Give Kids The World is two-fold,” said Richard Smith, a UTI Orlando auto and marine instructor. “Through preventative maintenance and routine diagnostics, we keep their vehicles running smoothly and help them avoid potentially serious auto repair bills. This has been an excellent way for our instructors to give back and at the same time, showcase the type of training we offer our students.”

“As a nonprofit, we value the in-kind service that Universal Technical Institute provides,” said Give Kids The World President Pamela Landwirth. “The vehicles that transport our guests, staff and volunteers around the Village are important in our day-today functions. We thank UTI for helping us continue our mission of providing the happiness that inspires hope for children with life-threatening illnesses around the world.”
