Committed volunteers with significant fundraising, administrative, donor stewardship, marketing, graphic design, web design, social media, volunteer management, event planning, and other related skills will work with KCCG's Development Office to help KCCG meet annual revenue goals, build KCCG's donor and volunteer base, and foster greater awareness of our urban gardening programs.
A six-month commitment and three or more years experience in any of the areas listed above are required. Retired and senior volunteers looking to make a real difference in our community are especially welcome for this opportunity!

Mission Statement
To empower and inspire low-income households, community groups, and schools in the Kansas City Metropolitan area to grow their own vegetables and fruit.
Description
For over thirty years, KCCG staff have assisted community and backyard gardeners throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area to improve nutrition, reduce food costs, combat obesity, increase physical activity, encourage neighborhood leadership, and promote locally grown and sustainable food. KCCG began in 1979 as the Metropolitan Lutheran Ministry’s "Community Garden Project," an initiative started to help low-income families save money on grocery bills. In 1985, the organization became incorporated as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
In 2003 KCCG moved from its original location at the former Old Ballpark Community Garden located at 22nd and Brooklyn to their current location in Swope Park. The Swope Park location allowed for larger administrative offices and the building of our Beanstalk Children’s Garden.
