 Volunteer Opportunities
(Click Here to Sign up to Volunteer)
Catholic Social Service is grateful for the generosity of volunteers who have given us their greatest gifts of time, talent and resources to help us meet the human service needs in southwest Kansas! We have an ongoing list of volunteer opportunities for individuals, families, businesses and groups of all faiths and ages. Here are some of the ways that you can make a difference in someone's life, and maybe even your own.
Carpenter/Handyman ~ Dodge City
The Catholic Social Service office in Dodge City sits on a large and unfinished basement. We are looking for a carpenter/handyman who can finish the flooring, walls and ceiling of this basement so that it can be used for the Teen Mom's program and store, for counseling sessions, and for some of our other programs and services.
Data Entry Assistant ~ Great Bend
Catholic Social Service is in need of a volunteer who can help us enter some handwritten information into the computer before we are no longer able to read the aging and penciled entries. This is a good job for someone who is organized, detail oriented, and comfortable with basic computer database programs.
Teen Mom Meal Provider ~ Dodge City
Meal providers are needed for the Teen Mom's program on Wednesday evenings, beginning in the month of September and ending in May.This is a wonderful ministry for whole families to be involved in. Volunteers who sign up for this ministry should plan to provide a meal for 20 people, and bring it to Room 22 at Newman University in Dodge City by 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday evening; you are invited to stay and eat with us. Teen Mom Staff will take care of drinks, table service and clean up. To sign up for this volunteer opportunity, please call Amy Falcon or Maria Gutierrez at 620-227-1562.
Teen Mom Mentor ~ Dodge City
Mentors are a vital part of the Teen Mom program. A mentor is a woman who makes a one-year commitment (approximately 10 hours a month) to befriend one of the young women in the Teen Mom program, and to help her be successful in meeting her goals. Mentors help teen moms to overcome the odds; it's an opportunity to really make a difference in a young mother's life.

When an individuals or families reach the end of their rope economically, the paperwork that they must fill out to get some help may seem daunting. Catholic Social Service welcomes volunteers who can help our clients fill out the SRS application for food, medical, cash and child care assistance. Training is available.
