 Volunteers

Most of our volunteers come from the student body of Olivet Nazarene University, located in nearby Bourbonnais, Illinois.  They tutor our youngsters, help with their homework, oversee arts and crafts, direct dramatic and musical productions, coach and supervise basketball games and other athletic activities, and generally serve as mentors for children in our after-school program.  To learn more about Olivet Nazarene University, visit the University’s Web site at http://www.olivet.edu.  If you or your organization would like to volunteer your time, click the Contact button at the top of this page for ways to contact KCRC to find out more about volunteering or click the Sponsor a Child button in the left column of this page.
