Volunteer Day
Volunteer days are a great way for individuals or groups to get involved and make a meaningful impact. You can join a scheduled volunteer day or partner with us to schedule a day of service for your workplace, church or community group. Volunteer days often include hands-on projects that will help us prepare for an event. We are happy to collaborate with your group to create a volunteer experience that aligns with your mission.
Help with Events
Events bring the McKinley community together — from fundraisers to family celebrations. Volunteers help with set-up, logistics, guest support, and more, ensuring each event runs smoothly and makes a meaningful impact. Your time helps raise awareness and resources for youth programs.
Campus Projects
A welcoming environment starts with safe, cared-for spaces. Volunteers can help with beautification projects, maintenance, or small repairs on McKinley’s campuses. Your efforts create surroundings where youth feel valued, supported, and ready to thrive.
Guest Speaker or Host
We welcome individuals or organizations that can help create meaningful on-site or local experience through workshops, demonstrations or interactive learning experiences. From introducing career paths to bringing unique experiences to our campus, these opportunities can help spark curiosity, confidence and connection for our youth.
Administrative Support
Behind every successful program is a team working hard behind the scenes. Volunteers help with clerical tasks, organizing materials, or other office duties that keep McKinley running smoothly. Even small contributions of your time help ensure programs stay efficient and impactful.
