Get On Board With KC’s Newest Volunteer Leadership Hub!
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to join a board or committee, but I don’t know where to start,” you’re not alone; and now, there’s a solution. With the recent launch of OnBoard KC, finding a way to give back just got easier. A new program from Support Kansas City, OnBoard is a website connecting KC residents with nonprofit leadership opportunities.
And the best part? OnBoard is completely free for volunteers during its inaugural year, making this the perfect time to explore how you can get involved.
OnBoard KC is designed to simplify the process of finding meaningful ways to give back. You can browse available board and committee positions based on your interests, skills, and availability. The platform also lets you create a personal profile that highlights your background, causes you care about, and the type of time commitment you’re open to. This profile helps you connect with organizations looking for exactly what you bring to the table.
You don’t need previous board experience. OnBoard welcomes first-timers and seasoned volunteers alike, offering resources and information to help you understand what it means to serve on a board or committee. Whether you’re passionate about youth development, the arts, healthcare, or housing, there’s likely a role for you.
This site isn’t just for volunteers; nonprofits and corporate businesses can also benefit from their services! For nonprofits, OnBoard KC provides an easy way to post open board and committee roles, share what they’re looking for in potential candidates, and connect directly with interested individuals.
Of course, recruiting for boards is one thing, but running them can be an overwhelming task, especially for small nonprofits. OnBoard KC also offers tailored consulting services for nonprofits to help recruit, manage, and engage your organization’s board.
The site also offers Corporate Champion services, which provide companies with board training and matching for their employees.
As we’ve discussed before, volunteering is a great way to support employee engagement.
By partnering with OnBoard KC, businesses can help their teams find board opportunities that match their skills and interests—strengthening both professional development and local impact.
Now’s the time to offer your skills and get involved in a way that matters to you. OnBoard KC is free for volunteers during its first year, so if you’ve ever considered joining a board or committee, this is the time to act!
