Youth Volunteers

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas offers meaningful volunteer opportunities for individuals under the age of 18 who are seeking ways to serve their community. These experiences provide an excellent avenue for earning service hours while making a lasting difference in the lives of others. Whether contributing a few hours after school, serving on weekends, or participating in a one-time project, youth volunteers bring energy and compassion to our mission.

Group Volunteers

BUILD COMMUNITY

Many hands make light work! Our group volunteer opportunities are perfect for families, church, school, civic and corporate groups to enjoy a time of working together toward a common goal. We provide a wide variety of group volunteer opportunities that support the mission of Catholic Charities. This is a great way to build new connections and learn about other ways to support our neighbors in need.

SHARE YOUR TALENT

Our core volunteers are the backbone of our work. These volunteers help Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas keep funds within programming by performing tasks that would normally be completed by a paid staff member. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for those who can make an intentional weekly commitment.
