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 coaching a youth soccer team. There are also opportunities to assist at special events like the annual Niagara Wine & Beer Tasting Fest and 100 American Craftsmen show. 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 in the beautifully decorated Kenan Center House.
