Kates was also active in many civic and arts organizations throughout her life, including the Print Club of Cleveland, the Cleveland Society for Contemporary Art, and the Women's City Club of Cleveland. Beginning in 1966, she chaired the Mental Health Committee of the Women's City Club, helping to organize lectures and community projects concerned with mental health, drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, child abuse, and prison reform issues. She founded the Women's City Club Mental Health Institute in 1976. Kates was also active in local Democratic Party politics, particularly in the presidential elections of 1960, 1964, and 1968. Other organizations in which she participated included the Women's Forum of Greater Cleveland, Le Cercle des Conferences Francaise, Organization for Rehabilitation through Training, Federation of Jewish Women's Organizations, and the Jewish Community Center. Kates also was the author of articles, reviews, essays, and radio plays. The collection consists of correspondence, minutes, essays, newspaper and magazine articles, play transcriptions, unpublished manuscripts, notes, lists, rosters, bylaws, reports, brochures, itineraries, programs, memoranda, cards, campaign flyers, newsletters, legislative bills, publications, surveys, schedules, regulations, directories, awards, and certificates.
