Make an Impact at the Kroc Center

Volunteer at the Kroc and change someone’s life,
maybe even your own.


Volunteering at the Kroc

The South Bend Kroc Center is more than just a gym or a pool. It’s a place where families become whole again, where the hungry are fed, where children find opportunities to grow, and where people find bridges out of poverty. Every week at the Kroc Center, there are opportunities for you to get involved and to be a part of changing someone’s life for the better. Who knows? Maybe the life you change will be your own. Ready to get involved? Email [email protected] to get started.
