KMS is improving the process by which volunteer resources are matched up to the צרכי ציבור--the needs of the community. The first step in our process improvement is to launch our new Volunteer Corps. Please fill out this survey and identify when/where/how you might be able to volunteer your help for our community.

As our membership grows, KMS will be implementing more programs of all types – social, educational, youth, and chesed – which will require the expansion of our volunteer pool and the optimization of how we use the time of our volunteers.

Contact Shuli Tropp or Sharon Freundel at VolunteerCorps@kmsynagogue.org with any questions.

Looking for a great cup of coffee and some friendly company? Join us after minyan on Monday mornings for coffee in the KMS lobby.
