Share Your Talent

Volunteer with Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas

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, bi-weekly or monthly commitment.

The opportunities below are available for individuals interested in serving as Core Volunteers. We are deeply grateful for those who commit their time and talents to support our mission in meaningful and lasting ways.

To get started, Core Volunteers complete a brief onboarding process that includes: submitting a Volunteer Application; completing VIRTUS Training (Protecting God’s Children for Adults); passing a Background Check; and attending a Bus Tour to learn more about our programs and services.

Once these steps are completed, volunteers are matched with roles where they can best share their gifts and make a lasting impact. Scroll down this page to explore current Core Volunteer opportunities and find the right fit for you!
