Are you a compassionate professional looking to make a lasting impact, get involved in your community, and broaden your horizons? Community for Youth (CfY) is actively seeking mentors like you to join our transformative mentorship program. CfY inspires and supports our high school students to be their best selves through mentorship, learning experiences, and a powerful community.

At CfY, we believe in the power of connection and community. As a mentor, you'll not only act as a valuable resource for students, but also create a safe space where they can bring their best selves. CfY values student voice and choice, meeting students where they are and seeing them as capable, resilient, and powerful.

CfY offers two programs, to better fit the needs and schedules of our participants.

Learning Community

The traditional CfY Learning Community offers 1:1 mentorship, small group mentorship, and whole community mentorship. Learning Community participants commit to 2 hours of volunteering a week for the academic year (October - June), with flexibility as needed and communicated with Staff. Meetings typically occur on Tuesday evenings.
Mentors in the Learning Community will:

be paired 1:1 with a student and meet once a month

join a “Family Group” of 3-4 other mentoring pairs and meet once a month

attend whole Community Workshops once a month

attend Mentor training Workshops once a quarter

Duos

Our flexible Duos program focuses on the 1:1 relationship based upon your own schedules. Duos participants commit to meeting twice a month with their match from January - June.
We highly encourage new community members to consider enrolling in the traditional Learning Community program, to experience the power of community and explore different aspects and methods of mentorship.

Eligibility requirements:

Being a CFY mentor is rewarding, challenging, and fun! You’ll not only provide critical support for an inquisitive, driven young person, but you’ll also build a strong network with fellow mentors.

Let's come together to build a community where students can thrive, explore their true selves, and unlock their full potential. Join us at Community for Youth and be the mentor who creates lasting change.

Kitsap Harvest’s Grow-A-Row project is intended to connect home gardeners’ excess garden harvest to Kitsap County’s vulnerable populations without access to nutritious food, prevent food waste from home producers and farmers markets, and build community capacity for food production and sharing. Kitsap County gardeners, connected by a network of donation stations, distribution volunteers, and our aggregation station, can deliver fresh seasonal locally grown produce to feed communities most at risk for food insecurity and malnutrition and build regional sustainability and resilience through grassroots community care.

The growth of the program will require coordination of many volunteers, destinations for donated produce, community gardens, farmers market donation stations, as well as building the framework and capacity to grow in the future. Establishing this network will require a number of skills and responsibilities to be shared across a committee of dedicated volunteers.

The Kitsap Harvest Grow-A-Row program will be facilitated by a working committee consisting of 6 volunteer members. The meeting frequency of the committee will likely vary over the course of the calendar year. Certain categories of responsibilities will have more to do in some seasons than others. The committee will need to be adaptable and collaborative.

These are initial conceptions of the needs of the committee and the different responsibilities that can be grouped by skill set into roles for individual members. In reality, committee members can flexibly collaborate and share skill sets, time and energy amongst themselves as a group according to the emergent needs and goals of the program. 

 Grow A Row, for yourself, for your neighbor, for your community.

The categories of responsibilities/intended roles of these committee members are as follows:

Plymouth Housing Group is a local non-profit organization that provides permanent supportive housing at 17 residential buildings that serve about 1,400 residents who were formerly homelessness. We are looking for a few volunteers who are knowledgeable, passionate, and interested in outdoor recreation, specifically fishing. Our building staff want to take a group of residents on a day trip to leisurely fish and enjoy time outdoors together. We are looking for a small group of volunteers to lead the trip by choosing the location, providing some gear (a few residents have limited gear), helping residents and staff learn how to fish, and assisting with transportation. We can provide some transportation as well. This would be very relaxed as some of our residents have mobility and health limitations. Ideally the fishing location would be 20-30 minutes from downtown Seattle and not involve any hiking. 

Volunteers must understand and align with Plymouth's mission and values of harm reduction and housing first. Many logistics will be figured out closer to the summertime. If you and a group are interested click "Respond" to sign up or get in contact. If you have any questions, please reach out to volunteer@plymouthhousing.org. Let's get this partnership rolling! 

Thank you for your interest in supporting our residents!

Our nation’s heroes travel around the globe to protect our freedoms—it’s only right that we return their dedication. Volunteering to drive a Veteran ensures that even those living remotely from VA hospitals can make their appointments and not go without the treatment they need. 

Join the team! Whatcom County volunteer drivers will operate a DAV van (no personal vehicles). Staged in Bellingham, departing early in the morning, the route of travel includes planned stops along the way in Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Stanwood, Arlington, and Marysville. After the Veterans are delivered to the Seattle VA Medical Center, the driver is free to go about their business in town or to remain at the facility until the Veteran calls the driver's government-supplied cell phone to advise they are ready to return home. Volunteer drivers are provided a meal ticket for use at the Veterans Canteen Service.

Volunteer drivers operate VA vehicles furnished by the DAV. Volunteers must be 21 or over, pass a physical, be insurable and have a valid driver's license. The approval process includes a federal background check which might take as long as 90 days, so apply now even for a future interest. Training will be provided.

Are you looking to make a difference in your community and positively impact people's lives? 

Role Summary: We are looking for several volunteers who know how to cut/trim hair of varying textures and lengths. The haircuts/trims would be very simple and basic. This volunteer would be placed in one of our 17 buildings across the Seattle area to host hour-long drop-in hair cutting sessions bi-weekly or once a month. This role is highly impactful for our residents who often struggle to maintain hygiene, cannot afford to go to the barber/stylist, or feel uncomfortable in public barbershops/salons. Having a volunteer meet them where they are at eliminates these barriers and encourages self-care behaviors.  

Role Qualifications/Requirements:  

Join our awesome team of Tree Wranglers!

Tree Wranglers are like the stage crew at a play or concert, for our tree-planting work parties. They do all the planning, site exploration, transport, and manual labor that's needed to make sure each seedling will be planted in the right place, and all tools and materials are ready to go and arranged onsite. They also provide instruction and guidance to tree-planting volunteers during work parties. Their crucial prep work and expertise ensures smooth and productive tree-planting projects!

Work times are arranged in collaboration with our Planting Coordinator and other Tree Wranglers. As part of a small and flexible team, your individual commitment can vary according to your own preferences and schedule limitations. You'll typically be needed on weekdays leading up to a weekend work party, and sometimes right before and during a work party. Our planting season is November-late March.

We provide all necessary tools, gloves, and training, and if needed you may be able to arrange carpooling with other Wranglers (many sites are outside city limits/not accessible by public transportation or bike). Comfort with manual labor, heavy lifting, and all-weather outdoor work is a must; passion for trees and planting strategies preferred. This is a great opportunity to learn a lot and be part of a passionate and dedicated team, while doing satisfying work essential to the planting part of our mission! Let us know if you're interested in being a Tree Wrangler!
