NAMI Wichita's Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
NAMI Wichita runs on volunteers! We have multiple different opportunities available, some short term, some long term. If you don't see anything you are interested in below, please reach out to discuss further.
Tabling event volunteers. What do tabling event volunteers do? They attend a variety of events and help set up, run, and tear down a table containing information about NAMI Wichita and the programs we offer. Sometimes they help us do free activities with the community such as making calming bottles. We are looking for tabling volunteers for the upcoming tabling events in September:
- September 13 - 9:30 - Noon - Mulvane Mental Health Walk
- September 27 - 10:00 - Noon - Hope Fest - Rhatigan Center WSU*
- September 28 - 10 am - 4pm - Open Streets ICT - Douglas* (8-10 people, shifts available)
- October 5 - 4 - 9 pm - Candlelight 2025 - multiple positions needed
*Highlight denotes extra help will be needed as we will be making Calming Bottles in addition to a Resource table.
New Pilot Program for Middle School/High School Students. NAMI Wichita has recently received a grant as part of a pilot program called "Creative MindSets" geared toward our middle school and high school aged students. We are looking for a few people interested in assisting us with planning, running, advertising, etc. for the implementation of this program throughout the next 12 months. Please respond to this email if you are interested.
NAMIWALKS & Summer Picnic 2026 Committee - We are looking volunteers who are interested in helping us organize and plan our biggest fundraiser of the year - NAMIWalks. Our plan is to hold a local NAMIWalks in Wichita this year for the first time ever! If you are interested in being on the planning committee, please respond to this email ASAP. We will be holding our first meeting (TBD) later this month.
If you are interested in helping out, or would like more information on any of these or other opportunities, please contact Tara Gwynn at t.gwynn@namiwichita.org or reply to this email. You can also respond to this NAMI Wichita Volunteer Interest Form.
