Help Easter Seals Create Solutions and Change Lives

Creating solutions and changing lives is what we do at Easter Seals. Join us and you, too, can make a difference and help people with disabilities achieve their goals. Volunteer your time to share your talents, whether performing office work, volunteering at events and camps, or another way you can help.

Need more convincing? In the words of Edgar "Daddy" Allen, founder of Easter Seals, "We have but one life. We get nothing out of that life except by putting something into it. To relieve suffering, to help the unfortunate, to do kind acts and deeds is, after all, the one sure way to secure happiness or to achieve real success. Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take...but by what we give."

Easter Seals West Kentucky has several volunteer opportunities available.  If volunteering with the children or adults we serve, a background check and a TB skin test are required (these are not required when volunteering for an event.)

Event Volunteer

Volunteer you time at one of our many fund-raising events.  Whether you are working a parking lot or booth at the Fund Run or making cotton candy at the Barbecue on the River, volunteers are important to the success of these events.
