Volunteer Today

The Komen Greater Kansas City Affiliate is a not-for-profit organization with a staff of five and hundreds of volunteers. Volunteer are the most vital asset to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Volunteers are often just viewed as people who donate their time to a particular cause or event – that doesn't really explain the dedicated, tireless supporters and advocates that work on Komen’s behalf, either by participating in events or speaking to groups regarding breast health education.

If you are interested in becoming a Komen volunteer, please contact: Special Events and PR Manager, Aimee Tilley at atilley@komenkansascity.org or download the volunteer application. View our Volunteer Orientation.
