Volunteer Center for Anne Arundel County
The Volunteer Center for Anne Arundel County makes it easy for individuals, families, and groups to volunteer. We can assist you in finding a volunteer opportunity that utilizes your knowledge, skills, and positive energy. We want to help you to help others!
Here are a few examples of how the Volunteer Center has been connecting people with opportunities to serve others in Anne Arundel County: helping children in danger of dropping out of school by recruiting tutors and mentors for more than 40 local programs; By Recruiting over 300 volunteers and joining forces with 60 agencies for County Executive Leopold’s Annual Homeless Resource Days which provided each year more than 400 local homeless individuals and families, or those at risk of being homeless, with medical care, substance abuse resources, mental health counseling, housing and job assistance, and much more; sending volunteers to community assistance programs, food banks and shelters because financial stress and unemployment can lead to psychological despair and homelessness.
The Volunteer Center invites you to share your giving heart with your neighbors and your community by supporting volunteering. In these challenging times when our community is more dependent than ever on volunteers, the role of the Volunteer Center For Anne Arundel County in mobilizing volunteers is more crucial than ever!

Friends of Kinder Farm Park
Kinder Farm Park is located in central Anne Arundel County, Maryland within close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay. The park is on 288 acres and was purchased by the county in 1979 from the original owners, the Kinder Family, who operated a typical Maryland farm from 1898 to the late 1970’s when it was no longer farmed. The farm was primarily operated as a cattle farm after World War II. The county believed the farm could be restored as it had been in the 1930’s and it has been designed to represent a 1930’s depression era farm.
The purpose of the Friends Group is to support the Farm Park with funding and to conduct volunteer activities to highlight a typical working farm set in Maryland during the 1930’s. Due to the unique nature of Kinder Farm Park, the Kinder Friends Group is unique in both the activities it supports as well as the causes for which it seeks funding. The region clearly is well served by having such a Farm Park open to both county and non-county visitors.

Whether you are a professional or amateur artist, a patron of the arts, a visitor or a resident in our capital city; the creative arts make our lives richer. Our goal is to provide one collective voice for anyone interested in or touched by arts.” The Annapolis Arts Alliance had its beginnings when Mayor Ellen Moyer extended an invitation to a diverse group of locals involved in the arts community. She cast her net wide into the artistic world, bringing together representatives from visual arts, dance, music, theatre, written word and the business community surrounding the arts. The Annapolis Arts Alliance provides a forum for members of our arts community to network, collaborate, polish creative skills, and showcase the rich artistic life of Greater Annapolis. The Alliance supports resource identification, information dissemination, arts education and event programs, and provides a collective voice for the Annapolis arts community.
