Volunteer at Marillac and Make a Difference!
Volunteers are a vital part of Marillac. It is truly the little things that make life better for Marillac children. A warm blanket, a positive reinforcement, a friendly game of cards - these things help children realize they are important, they are loved, and they have a home at Marillac.

Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Lisa Martin at 913.951.4467 or lisa.martin@marillac.org to find out how you can make a difference in the life of a Marillac child. Click on the link below to find out about available volunteer opportunities.
