Yes! Anyone 16 years and older is welcome to volunteer on their own. We’d love to have you — every pair of hands makes a difference.

We aim to provide family-friendly service opportunities for families with children in K–12. We will include age recommendations for each service opportunity so you can find the best fit for your family.

Please note that all children 15 and younger will need to have a parent or guardian chaperone present for the full duration of the service opportunity.

We’d love to have you involved right alongside your family! For safety purposes, all children 15 and younger must have a parent or guardian chaperone in attendance for the full duration of the service opportunity. We aren’t a drop-off program — we’re a family experience.

We believe philanthropy should be a lifestyle, not a seasonal event. When children participate in hands-on service from a young age, they develop a genuine spirit of compassion and community that stays with them for life.

Our opportunities aren’t just about dropping off canned goods — they’re about showing up, rolling up your sleeves, and letting your kids experience firsthand how meaningful it feels to make a difference alongside the people they love most.

Absolutely! School groups, youth organizations, scout troops, sports teams, and clubs are always welcome. The more, the merrier — and there’s something especially powerful about young people serving together. Please reach out at info@kentuckycares.org and we’ll get you set up.
