Volunteer
More than 500 volunteers help to make the Kenan Center a premier arts, cultural and recreational center serving the eastern Niagara region. There are numerous opportunities to get involved, and also to fit your skills and interests, from caring for the Center's formal gardens and assisting with gallery exhibits and art installation, to giving house tours and volunteering to coach a youth soccer or basketball team. Those who like sharing a common interest with others may wish to join one of our affiliate groups, which not only support the Kenan Center through fundraising events, but also offer a pleasurable social outlet. Volunteers also enjoy an annual Holiday Volunteer Recognition Party hosted by the Kenan Center staff at the beautifully decorated Kenan Center House. To learn more about volunteer opportunities at the Kenan Center, stop by the Business Office located in the Kenan Center House at 433 Locust Street, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., or call (716) 433-2617.
