Client Testimonials

“The Flint Hills Volunteer Center has played a significant role in our community, offering a diverse range of programs tailored to meet the needs of various demographics.”

“The volunteer spirit has no age restrictions! I am pleased to support youth and adults who give their time to make our communities an amazing place to live.”

“The gifts of time and service are powerful things. They positively impact the lives of both the givers and the receivers. FHVC provides volunteers of all ages the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves and help their neighbors in the process. We all benefit from a stronger community as a result”.

AmeriCorps Seniors (formerly RSVP) is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 and over. Volunteers use the skills and talents they’ve learned over the years or they develop new ones while serving in a variety of volunteer activities within our community.
Connecting Students to Communities provides volunteer opportunities for students as a conduit to teach workplace readiness skills, enhance academic performance, inspire a lifetime commitment to service, and address the needs of recipient nonprofit organizations. Recruitment targets middle school, high school, and college students.
Suicide Awareness (P.A.C.T.) utilizes trained volunteers to educate the community on risk factors for suicide, along with the interventions available for help.
Medical Transportation volunteers provide independence and freedom to local seniors by helping them get to medical appointments in Manhattan.
Neighbor 2 Neighbor is a volunteer program in the city of Manhattan that helps elderly residents remain in their home. This program connects volunteers, volunteer groups, and organizations with Manhattan residents who need assistance. Volunteers help with snow removal and basic yard work.
