On October 15th, KYFS will celebrate another year of success at our annual fundraising event, The One Thing Experience. We are celebrating, because more and more families are having frank conversations about mental health and substance abuse. Access to early childhood education has never been higher. Our after school centers are buzzing with busy minds. More homeless moms and their kids are using the phrase, “formerly homeless.”
We are filled with hope, because everywhere we look there seems to be a success story waiting to be told. “The One Thing Experience” is an opportunity to share those stories. It is also a chance to celebrate all that we have accomplished and recognize the work yet to be done. On Saturday, October 15th, 2016, we will gather to do just that.
To make this event a success, we rely on committed volunteers. Below, you will find several volunteer position, as well as shift positions. To volunteer, please email Nathan Box at nathanb@kyfs.org or call (253) 859-0300.
