Volunteers In Action

About Us

Volunteers In Action of Central KS (VIA) is a sponsored Barton Community College program that works in the community to give community members a way to give back and share lifelong learned skills and experiences. We actively grow our volunteer center to include all ages, genders, races. Everyone has something to share and we want to encourage you to share your skills, passions and talents with the many nonprofit organizations throughout Barton and Pawnee counties.
It all adds up to people helping their community, and while doing so, hopefully instilling in the next generation the same sense of ownership.
In-house programs include: Meals On Wheels of Barton County, RSVP Medical Transportation, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, SHICK (Medicare Counseling), Grocery Shopping, American Red Cross blood drives, and senior food boxes.
VIA also collaborates with community non-profits to highlight their volunteer opportunities, assist with volunteer recruitment, training, marketing, and messaging, as well as recruit registered volunteers to support those opportunities.
VIA offers an online volunteer software that helps community volunteers connect to opportunities, track their hours, and create volunteer resumes.
