Volunteer with KYCC

Get Involved!
Volunteers are an integral part of KYCC. We are dedicated to engaging with members of our community to create real change through our many volunteer opportunities. In 2018, we had over 2,700 volunteers! There are many ways to get involved through KYCC programs and events. Whether you are a high school student, retired or a business professional, your time and expertise can help strengthen our community. We also have a variety of intergenerational programs and are actively seeking volunteers who are 55+ years of age, but all are welcome!
Please note that due to COVID-19 some volunteer programs have been altered, scaled back or temporarily suspended. We will reply to all inquiries on the status of your preferred volunteer opportunity.
If you can’t find an opportunity that suits you, feel free to contact us as we are also at times able to craft other positions based on our programs, needs, and your talents. We look forward to hearing from you!
