Volunteer Spotlight

KCIT could not operate without our volunteers. Our Volunteer Spotlight program allows us to recognize and express our gratitude for all they do. For those interested in volunteering, our Spotlight is a wonderful way to learn about the experience of being part of the team.

How do I become a volunteer?

Upon completion of Group Crisis Intervention- Deployment Ready Training, there is a quick interview and application process, which includes submitting criminal, FBI, and child abuse clearances. Once all the application materials are fulfilled, the new volunteer is welcomed and assigned a KCIT Buddy to begin the journey on our team!

What is the time commitment as a volunteer?

KCIT volunteers give of their time as they can. We like to say, give as you can and still stay active on our team! KCIT’s GCI’s are currently provided both virtually and in-person, providing more options to assist.

Do I facilitate right away?

The quick answer is no. New volunteers begin by observing a couple of interventions before taking on a role. KCIT staff will always ask if someone is comfortable taking on any role, including Scribe and Support. We understand it can take time getting used to the KCIT model and being comfortable taking the lead.
