Community Service & Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteering!
Welcome to the volunteer page of our college. We believe that volunteering is an essential part of a well-rounded education and that it can provide valuable experiences and skills that enhance personal growth and development. As a student, faculty member, or staff member of our college, you have the opportunity to make a positive impact in our community through a variety of volunteer programs and initiatives.
We have created this page with the sole purpose of keeping our students informed about local volunteer opportunities that may satisfy the requirements for their community service hours. We provide a diverse range of volunteer programs and opportunities so that each student can find a cause they are passionate about and can make a meaningful contribution to. We urge all of our students to seize these opportunities and leverage their unique skills and talents to bring about positive change in their communities.
A link to this page will also be available in Canvas. We are looking forward to all the changes we can make in the community together.
For any questions please contact the campus Outreach Coordinator, Renee Fite, via email at: renee.fite@kc.edu
Why you should volunteer:
Volunteering provides an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience, develop leadership skills, and contribute to society.

Whether you are interested in working with children, promoting sustainability, or helping those in need, our volunteer opportunities offer a wide range of options to suit your interests and skills. Join us in making a difference and becoming part of a community dedicated to creating a better future for all.
Volunteer Opportunities:
