Volunteering
Passionate about mental health advocacy and suicide prevention? The Kim Foundation’s volunteering opportunities accommodate a range of skills and time commitments.
You may also be interested in joining the Metro Area Suicide Prevention Coalition.
Service industry partners
Oftentimes a bartender, server or stylist can be a confidant and listener for someone going through a difficult time. That’s why The Kim Foundation partners with service industry businesses to educate employees and patrons about how to “Be There” for people who may be at risk for suicide. Contact us to request campaign assets for your business.
Chalk It Up for More Tomorrows
Each September during Suicide Prevention Week, The Kim Foundation encourages our community to “Chalk It Up for More Tomorrows” with messages of hope throughout the Omaha metro. Individuals and groups can submit photos of their artwork for a chance to win prizes and be featured on our website and social media.
Corporate and community partners
Our partners are a crucial part of our efforts to increase awareness around mental health and suicide prevention in Nebraska. Your support helps us engage the community and distribute suicide prevention materials.
