Volunteer Opportunities
If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, the Epilepsy Foundation is a great place to start. As a volunteer, you may choose short-term, fast-turnaround activities or longer-term commitments. You may wish to offer your professional or business skills, or you may choose to do something new to you! Here are our major events and programs:
- CampShing: Camp Shing began in 1994 as a weekend camp for children with epilepsy/seizure disorders ages six through seventeen. Camp Shing was expanded to a family retreat in 1996. Volunteer counselors are needed. Counselors must be at least 18 years of age. Camp Shing is held in June each year at Tall Oaks Conference Center in Linwood Kansas.
- Board Member Candidate: A vital part of the Epilepsy Foundation is the Board of Directors. We are looking for people meeting a variety of criteria to participate as a board member. The board meets six times per year. The major role of the board is to raise funds, set policy and direction and assist with programs. If you are interested in serving as a board member, contact (816) 444-2800.
- Assist with fundraisers: Whether it be a gala, a walk or other fundraising event, assistance is appreciated.
