Founded in 1990, the Roger Hill Volunteer Center was a nexus for volunteer recruitment, coordination and engagement for all of Douglas County. Named in honor of the late Roger Hill (pictured), the center promoted volunteerism and helped local nonprofits connect with volunteers. Today, United Way of Kaw Valley honors the spirit of Roger Hill by connecting communities across our four-county region through our volunteer website www.kawvalleyvolunteers.org and working with local businesses, agencies and government to advise and contribute to volunteer initiatives.

Volunteer Engagement Philosophy 

Volunteers are one of the greatest resources our communities have. People like you, who give their time, energy, and talents to provide help and inspire hope, are essential to creating a healthy and resilient community where everyone can thrive. 

We are committed to increasing the capacity of our nonprofit community to serve by connecting volunteers to meaningful opportunities to be involved--for an afternoon, a day or longer. 

We also provide training and support to those who wish to step up to nonprofit board volunteer service. Anyone interested in learning the basics of board service should consider attending our Board Leadership Training.
