Opportunities to Volunteer at the
Keeler Women's Center

To volunteer, call Sr. Carol Ann Petersen, Director, at 913.906.8990 or e-mail her at kwc@mountosb.org. We will arrange a time for you to visit the Center to gain a better of understanding of our ministry as well as visit with you about your interests and skills and our needs.

 

volunteerOffice Assistance and Hospitality–This involves answering the phone, greeting guests who are arriving for programs or services, offering cold drinks or coffee. On occasion it is necessary to baby-sit while a mother is receiving a service or attending a program. We also use office volunteers to do such things as prepare mailings, send faxes, post items on Internet calendars, etc. Usually volunteers give one morning, afternoon, or evening each week. We especially need volunteers to assist with child-care. As we begin offering programs in January at our new and expanded location, we will need an increased number of evening and daytime office volunteers.

Spiritual Director to offer spiritual direction once a month – requires a trained spiritual director.

Massage Therapist to offer massage once a month - requires a licensed massage therapist.

Pro-bono legal assistance – These volunteers will be available to help women who need legal assistance or advice on a wide variety of legal matters. Volunteers could have a regular time each week or month to meet women by appointment or on a “drop in” basis. Or they could be available to work with an individual woman referred by the director.

Basic Literacy – a coordinator, assessors and tutors are needed to meet the needs of the one in four adults in Wyandotte County who qualify for Basic Literacy.

Budget, finance, purchasing mentors – volunteers are needed one day a week or one day a month to meet with individual women to offer advice on budgeting, buying a car, balancing a checkbook, etc.
