Kansas Volunteer Commission

The Kansas Volunteer Commission is a program of the Kansas State Department of Education based in Topeka, Kansas. A small organization with a staff of four, the Commission plays a vital role in connecting Kansans with volunteer opportunities throughout the state. The Kansas Volunteer Commission's primary mission is to empower individuals to address community needs through service. They achieve this by providing resources and leadership to support local initiatives aimed at tackling various challenges. As the state service commission, they also direct effective national service programs, offering volunteer management training opportunities for individuals and organizations. The Commission's support extends to the work of Mentor Kansas, a program dedicated to connecting adult mentors with youth in need of guidance and support. Through these diverse initiatives, the Kansas Volunteer Commission fosters a culture of service and civic engagement across the state.
