Needs From: Konza United Way

Volunteer: Painting Parts of Shelter

Prepping to paint and painting areas in the shelter. The inside of the shelter sees a lot of wear and tear. We have several spots that need to be touched up. When the shelter looks taken care of, it's easier to get clients to maintain that level of care.

Volunteer: The Way Early Learning Center Clean Up & Maintenance

Weeding flower boxes and barrels that we grow vegetables in, spreading rubber mulch on playground to cover the mat underneath, leaf clean up, putting screens on windows, and raking our turf. More outdoor clean up projects might be added, but they would be along these lines!


The Way Early Learning Center seeks to empower children in poverty to achieve their full potential. Many behind-the-scenes details are needed to keep our organization running excellently, such as the projects listed, but they are difficult to do on our own as we are busy working with the children, so it would be so helpful to have a few individuals come help us out with these behind-the-scenes projects so we can keep moving towards fulfilling our mission with the children.

Volunteer: Spring Clean Up

In/outside could use a good spring cleaning and revitalization of our spaces before the start of our busiest time of year - summer! This includes painting, grounds clean up, interior deep cleaning, etc. We focus on the children and programs first, which means things like deep cleaning, raking, and painting get bumped to the bottom of the list. We want the community to see how magical Wonder Workshop is, and first impressions matter!
