Interested in volunteering for Aging & Human Services but uncertain where to start? Attend a volunteer orientation. General orientation is a one hour overview of the services provided by Aging & Human Services and ways you can volunteer.

We offer the following volunteer opportunities:
- Catch-a-Ride
- Home Delivered Meals

To get started with one of the above opportunities, you must attend an orientation session. Orientations are hosted twice a month on-site at the Olathe office. During the orientation you will complete all neccessary paperwork to volunteer. Weekday opportunities available from 8am-5pm.

If interested in joining Catch-a-Ride or Home Delivered Meals, please plan on staying an additional hour for program training. The program training is from 2 pm - 3 pm.
