Volunteers are increasingly the lifeblood of any community, and cultural organizations are no exception. It would be impossible for organizations like KAM to succeed without the interest, dedication, passion, time and expertise of Volunteers. They help to keep the doors open and the lights on. They provide programming, operations and fundraising support and, in many cases, are the face of an organization. Indeed, the countless Volunteers that have contributed to KAM over the past 40-plus years have enabled the organization to become what it is today.
