VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPORTUNITY
Cornerstone Aviation Academy, Inc.

Cornerstone Aviation Academy is growing, and we are looking for strong, committed leaders who want to help shape what comes next.

Our mission began with a simple idea: introduce young people to aviation and help them discover careers they may never have known existed.

Through FAA Aviation Career Education programs and ACE camps, students have been able to experience aviation beyond the classroom. For some, it is their first time walking into a hangar, seeing aircraft maintenance up close, meeting aviation professionals, or realizing that aviation offers far more career opportunities than becoming a pilot.

Those moments can change how a young person sees their future.

Our work with Jobs for America’s Graduates-Kansas, JAG-K, has allowed us to take that exposure further by connecting students with aviation careers, field experiences, employers, training opportunities, and professionals already working in the industry.

But we never wanted exposure to be the finish line.

We wanted to build a pathway students could actually follow.

That pathway now connects aviation exposure with education, pre-apprenticeship, Registered Apprenticeship, industry experience, and employment.

Cornerstone Aviation Academy has established a Kansas Registered Apprenticeship pathway in aviation maintenance. Most recently, we reached another major milestone through the U.S. Department of Labor apprenticeship system with National Guideline Standards supporting our planned expansion across 11 states.

Around here, we have started joking:

“I guess we’re national now.”

The joke makes us smile. The responsibility behind it is very real.

As Cornerstone grows, we need strong people around the table who can help us grow responsibly.

We are currently seeking volunteer board members from Kansas City and across the country.

Aviation experience is welcome, but it is not required.

We are especially interested in candidates with experience in:

Aviation and aerospace
Finance and accounting
Banking and investment
Law and nonprofit governance
Fundraising and philanthropy
Corporate partnerships and sponsorships
Education and workforce development
Registered Apprenticeship and skilled trades
Marketing and communications
Government and community relations
Economic development
Technology and innovation
Real estate and facilities
Business leadership and entrepreneurship

More important than the title on your résumé is what you are willing to bring to the table.

We need people who ask thoughtful questions.

People who understand governance, accountability, and stewardship.

People who can help us make sound decisions.

People who are willing to open doors, make introductions, build relationships, and help strengthen the organization for the long term.

WHAT BOARD SERVICE LOOKS LIKE

Board members will be expected to participate in quarterly Board of Directors meetings, with virtual participation available.

Members will also actively participate on a board committee, provide strategic guidance, support organizational accountability, help strengthen financial sustainability, and serve as ambassadors for Cornerstone Aviation Academy.

Board members are also expected to support fundraising and resource development through relationship-building, introductions, sponsorship outreach, donor engagement, and personal giving at a level meaningful to them.

This is a working board.

We are not looking for people who simply want another board title.

We are looking for builders.

Connectors.

Problem-solvers.

People willing to use their experience and relationships to help create opportunities for the next generation.

You do not have to live in Kansas City to serve.

As Cornerstone expands its reach, we welcome qualified candidates from across the country who are ready to participate, contribute, and help us build.

If you believe young people deserve access to careers they may never have known existed, we would like to hear from you.

If you believe apprenticeship and workforce development can create real economic opportunity, we would like to hear from you.

And if you are looking for a board where your experience can make a measurable difference, we should talk.

Cornerstone Aviation Academy, Inc.

Exposure. Education. Apprenticeship. Career.

To be considered for the Board of Directors, contact:

info@csaa.life

Please include a brief introduction, your professional background, and why you are interested in serving.

KC Mothers in Charge is seeking compassionate volunteers to assist with family support calls and community outreach.

Our organization responds to homicide scenes to provide immediate crisis support to families facing the unimaginable. But grief does not follow a schedule. Many families are not ready to seek help in the first days or weeks after a loss. Often, the hardest part comes months later when the attention fades and life moves forward for everyone else.

That is why we stay connected.

Volunteers help us call families we have previously served to check in, offer continued support, and reconnect them with services such as support groups, counseling, and community resources. These calls remind families that they are not forgotten and that help is still available.

Volunteers may also assist with community outreach events throughout the Kansas City area. At these events, volunteers help share the mission of KC Mothers in Charge, connect with families who may need services, and advocate for safer communities.

No special background is required. What matters most is compassion, reliability, and a willingness to stand with families affected by violence.

Training and guidance will be provided.

Join us throughout the week to help load up rescued food for our Community Food Partners! 

Each day more than 10 Community Food Partners pick up rescued produce from Kanbe's to bring back to their organizations and serve members of the Kansas City community. This opportunity is a great way to work face to face with those feeding our neighbors!

We are looking for individuals to join us daily in assisting our operations team in preparing food pallets and loading Community Food Partners vehicles out of our warehouse space. 

Disclaimer: This activity will be primarily on ones feet and will include lots of heavy lifting boxes of produce. Ages 16+.

With our goal to redirect 3 million pounds of food in 2026, Kanbe’s Markets invites you to join us for one or more shifts with our Produce Sorting opportunity! 

Donated food from wholesale partners arrives daily and it is with volunteer support that it is sorted and distributed throughout low access neighborhoods in Kansas City. Volunteers play a vital role in sorting donated produce into our four redirection tiers, ensuring that every piece of food finds its best possible use:

1. Fresh Food Access Partners – bringing fresh, affordable produce to underserved areas.

2. Hunger Relief Partners – providing fresh produce to over 59 local food pantries for neighbors in need.

3. Animal Feed – supporting nonprofit rescue farms.

4. Compost – for items not fit for human or animal consumption.

This role is great for…

• People passionate about food!
• People looking for quick service hours
• People looking for a light physical activity
• People wanting to grow their community!

Volunteers will...

• Sort incoming donated produce into one of four redirection tiers.
• Assist with crate organization and packing pallets for distribution.
• Support warehouse staff in keeping operations running smoothly (warehouse maintenance & cleaning).

Your Impact: By volunteering with our Produce Sorting opportunities, you’re helping ensure fresh, affordable produce reaches neighbors who need it most — while also reducing food waste through responsible redirection.

• Every one pound sorted creates four servings of fresh produce for someone in our community.
• Volunteers support fresh food access for over 500,000 Kansas City residents each month.
• Kanbe’s has rescued more than $6+ million worth of food from landfills since 2018.

• Serving hot meals to our guests
• Food preparation and kitchen support
• Dining room hospitality and guest engagement
• Boutique assistance (sorting, organizing, and helping guests)

All volunteers are asked to complete a volunteer packet before serving.

Why Volunteer with Lazarus Ministries KC?
