Brent Lager

Brent Lager started Uncover KC (UKC) in 2013 to build a bridge between those who want to improve their community and those who need help doing so. Since then, UKC has recruited over 85,000 volunteers and helped them complete more than 251,000 service hours, leading to $8.4 million in valued impact for local nonprofits. In 2024, Uncover launched its first two affiliates — Uncover Volusia County (Florida) & Uncover Garden Empire (New Jersey) — to begin its national network. Beyond his nonprofit work, Mr. Lager has also served as an adjunct professor at the William Jewell College Pryor Center for Leadership Development and holds a Minor in Spanish, a Bachelor’s degree in journalism, and a Master’s of Education in journalism and English from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
