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.
Office
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.
Other needs:
• Volunteers to assist with hospitality at events and programs
• Volunteers to assist with translation for non-English speaking women
who come to the Center for assistance
• Advocates for women who need to go to court or who need help with medical
care, etc.
• Volunteers to help with transportation of clients and other volunteers.
•
Beauticians to give haircuts/styles to our African-American women.
Your Choice – If you have interests or
skills in other areas that might help us meet our mission of “empowering
women in the urban core through education, advocacy, personal and spiritual
development,” let
us know. We will help you design your program.
