Give 5 Volunteer Matching

Participation in Give 5 requires a commitment to five day-long classes, which include guest speakers and nonprofit site visits, and a graduation ceremony.

Each Give 5 class experience allows participants to learn about public and community service trends, “taste test” a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and find a role that matches with their passions. As a part of the Give 5 classes, retirees meet new people, find camaraderie and friendship, learn more about their community and have fun! Participation in Give 5 is free of charge and lunch will be provided each class day.

Participation is open to retired* residents of Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte or Ray counties. There is currently a waitlist for volunteer participants for the fall 2023 Give 5 program. Please complete the volunteer participant waitlist application to receive priority access to enroll in the fall session. 

*Please note: we use the term "retired," but the only requirements are that you are over the age of 60 and have the time and passion to commit!

If you are a nonprofit organization that is working towards a healthy, vibrant and age-friendly Kansas City located in Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri and you have a need for skilled volunteers please review and complete the nonprofit application.
