Ways to serve
All opportunities below are great for individuals. Many of these will also work well for groups (youth, community, church, etc.) TSMKC loves to have women and men serve but we do recognize there are certain areas that are best served by women volunteers. Please note the areas that men and women are invited to serve.
Interested in learning more about how you can get involved? To understand the mission of The Single Mom KC and to receive a complete overview of service opportunities, we invite you to attend an upcoming Volunteer Orientation. Visit our calendar to see the latest Volunteer Orientation dates.
