Life After Retirement
Our Mission - The mission of the Shepherd’s Center of Topeka is
assist and serve seniors. We are committed to helping seniors remain active by offering programs that are educational, social, physical, and spiritual. We provide services that are proven to improve the quality of life of senior adults. Participating in classes, activities and events is essential to building relationships and thriving. We are an organization operated by members who volunteer their time and talent under the guidance of a director and board.

Volunteers
Shepherd's Center of Topeka is an organization operated by members who volunteer their time and talent and whose efforts are coordinated by the Director.
You might ask, how much time commitment is there? It just depends on how much time you want to give. Use your talents to help bring programs to our community of aging adults. And, when you volunteer, you are eligible for the annual volunteer banquet.
Please contact us if you want to get involved, and we will help you get connected. We would love to have you join our team of volunteers.
