Volunteer: Kitsap Harvest Driver/Driver teamCurrently we need a driver and driver assistant to take over every other Thursday afternoon's route, delivering boxes of food starting on Thursday, November 16th, from 1pm to 3pm. Generally, we are looking for volunteers to help with produce pick-up from several of our existing routes. The ideal volunteer commitment is every other week on a set schedule for one of our pickup routes. Our collection routes include Farmers Markets, Neighborhood Donation Stations, Partner Organizations providing both fresh and recovered produce. Using the preferred method of transport, the produce is collected and then delivered to the Kitsap Harvests aggregation/distribution hub. Donation Stations - We have Neighborhood Donation Stations through Kitsap. We've organized these into two routes, one route from Kingston to Bremerton, and the other route from Port Orchard to Bremerton, both routes ending at the Kitsap Harvest Aggregation and Distribution Hub in Bremerton. Both of these routes are collected from either Sunday evening or Monday morning, weekly. Drivers will be using their own vehicle and coordinating with Neighborhood Captains to confirm produce pickup. (Seasonal)Farmers Market Drivers - Collecting from either the Port Orchard Farmers Market on Saturday (1:45pm -2:15) or Bremerton Community Farmers market on Thursday (6:45pm -7:15)The food is collected from the Market vendors, documented, and then transported, using your own vehicle to our Bremerton Aggregation and Distribution Hub. (Seasonal) Partner Org produce pickup and recovery- This regular route done on Tuesday and Thursday (with a priority in filling Thursday shift first) is picking up produce from 3 locations, using the Isuzu NPR 16 ft box truck (no special license needed) Drivers would pick-up food and bring it back to the warehouse for weighing and sorting by volunteers. Truck Lead- We need a point person who can look after the care of our truck. It is important keeping-up on truck maintenance log and communicating any issues ASAP. We have several volunteer drivers who use this truck, but since they are envolved in other operations of Kitsap Harvest, we can not ask them to take on one more responsibility... it would be nice to have someone as the dedicated point person to check the basics for operation on a weekly/monthly basis... maybe give the truck a wash and or check the mileage and report if the truck needs maintnance.

Volunteer: Board MemberBackground: The Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden connects the community to nature through a diverse and beautiful collection of historical gardens. It is an 11-acre public garden in SeaTac, WA. The Garden honors its location, memorializing the horticultural legacies of longtime Burien resident, Elda Behm and of the Seike family, who operated a nursery with an outstanding Japanese garden in Des Moines. It also embraces other notable local horticultural efforts and groups, through partnerships with local associations, such as the King County Iris Society, the Puget Sound Daylily Society, the Seattle Rose Society, the Species Fuchsia Society, and the Puget Sound Fuchsia Society. The Garden is a community asset that welcomes all visitors and provides a refuge for appreciation of nature’s beauty. Some of the ways the community engages with the Garden include quinceañeras, wedding and graduation photo ops, picnics, weddings, tours, inspiration for gardening, gardening workshops, exercise classes, and simply exploring. The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that develops and manages the Garden and Garden-related programs. The Garden was created and is operated by the Foundation in cooperation with the City of SeaTac and the Port of Seattle. Role of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors meets monthly to consider issues related to maintaining and developing the Garden. Board members contribute their ideas for addressing these issues and for creating programs to make the Garden more accessible to the community and to involve the community more with the Garden’s affairs. The Foundation publishes a quarterly newsletter that is produced by the Board. Board members manage development projects, they raise funds, they advise on the design of new areas of the Garden, and on the contents of the Foundation’s website and social media posts. They plan and execute special events in the Garden like the Ice Cream Social and Plant Sale. The Board manages the Foundations funds. The Foundation has both an Executive Director and a person who coordinates and manages rental and volunteer events at the Garden, both part-time, but a great deal of the work of the Foundation is done by the Board members. Time Commitment: The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation Board meets once a month on the first Wednesday at the North SeaTac Park Community Center. Each Board member is expected to take part in some of the various activities of the board: planning and executing events at the Garden, producing the newsletter, contributing design and development ideas, fundraising, and any of the many tasks that need doing to keep the Garden a vibrant community asset. However no Board member is expected to help with everything. We each have our interests and abilities and work best within those parameters. The Board’s unpaid officers contribute the most time to the organization, ranging from the President, which at present could easily be a full time job, through the Treasurer, easily a part-time job managing the small payroll, keeping the books, and managing the budget; the Secretary, who records the proceedings of the Board’s meetings and organizes the digital files and paper files that document the Board’s activities; and the Vice President, who at present is the lead on event planning and execution. As they say, many hands make light work, and it is our expectation that as the Board grows, the time burden on any one member, including the officers, will be at least somewhat reduced. Funding Commitment: All Board members are asked to support the Foundation financially by becoming paid members and are encouraged to support the Foundation’s work financially. However, we recognize that not every Board member is able not to make a major financial contribution to the Garden, and that contributions of time add precious value to our work. Satisfaction: Every Board member of the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation shares the joy of watching the Garden grow, bringing beauty to an area that has needed a place of respite for a long time, and reminding visitors the ordinary people can do extraordinary things with plants. We’re located in a SeaTac neighborhood with families who have come to love the North SeaTac Park and the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden. We are happy that you have expressed an interest in the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation.

Volunteer: Volunteer Mentor: Inspire Healing & Growth in Youth Through Poetry Writing
Overview
Our mission is to engage youth in writing poetry to inspire healing and growth. Pongo Poetry Mentors volunteer their time to work with youth in writing heartfelt, personal poetry. As a Pongo mentor, you will help youth write about their difficult experiences; and you will experience writing that is sometimes sad, but also a source of excitement, pride, and healing for the youth. Our volunteers find the work touching, enlightening, and enlivening — and a benefit to their careers in counseling, teaching, and community service. Empowered by their time with us, Pongo volunteers have gone on to start their own poetry projects. As a Pongo Poetry Mentor, you will be trained in Pongo’s techniques for teaching poetry writing to distressed teens in service of inspiring their healing and growth. You will be well supported and work with a close-knit, collaborative team of 3 to 4 others under the direction of an experienced Pongo Project Leader. Commitment Mentor poetry with youth at one of our project sites, once per week, for 3 hours, from mid-September through June. Join Pongo programming on time. Remain with the program until the close of the program year.

Ideal candidates write poetry (personally or professionally), have previous experience working with young people, have teaching or counseling experience, and/or have personal or professional experience in supporting individuals affected by trauma. DiversityBecause a large percentage of youth we write with are BIPOC, Pongo seeks to have a diverse team of Poetry Mentors. We know from experience that BIPOC youth are excited to see Poetry Mentors who look like them. For a powerful example, listen to Amani Carithers share her experience of volunteering with Pongo at our King County Juvenile Detention project site. A Typical Day for Pongo Poetry MentorsWhile Pongo poetry sites meet at different times, each weekly session is around 3 hours and consists of the following: Ongoing Poetry Mentor Training and Collaboration (45-60 minutes):Mentors check-in, create writing activities, review/hone Pongo techniques, and share personal poems and relevant published pieces. Facilitating Poetry with Youth (50-90 minutes):Sessions begin with a warm up writing exercise in the form of a group poem. Then mentors are paired with youth, one-on-one, to create personal poetry. Teens may change from week to week, depending on the poetry site. Debrief with Poetry Mentors (15-30 minutes):Mentors check-in, type up and send copies of youth poems, and receive poetry writing prompts or activity creation assignments as “homework.” Selection ProcessPongo operates its projects in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Typically, mentor teams are formed in August, orientations occur in September, and projects run from September to June.

Volunteer: Board MemberSeattle Pro Musica seeks Board Members!
Seattle Pro Musica, the Northwest's premier volunteer choir, exists to enrich and inspire our audiences, singers, and community through the experience of choral artistry, and to increase access to and appreciation of choral music. We believe in the power of voices joined in harmony to improve the lives of our audiences, our singers, and the community at large. We also believe in making the beauty of choral music available to as many people as possible. Though our members come from all walks of life and span generations, we are united by our desire to make beautiful music together and share it with the world. Seattle Pro Musica is made up of four performing groups: The 80-voice Seattle Pro Musica choir Vox, our mixed-voices chamber ensemble Chroma, our select ensemble for sopranos and altos Orpheon, our select ensemble for tenors and basses Throughout our 50-year history, we’ve been recognized for the caliber of our programming and performances. We’ve received the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and we were ranked as “among America’s very best choirs” by American Record Guide. Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Karen P. Thomas, we’ve received international acclaim for our CD recordings and live performances. Choir and Organ writes, “Seattle Pro Musica presents a cappella singing at its best,” and Fanfare Record says, “This is truly an extraordinary choir.” We’ve also appeared by invitation at numerous international and national festivals, and we’ve been fortunate enough to perform with artists like Jane Eaglen, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Pacific MusicWorks, and Seattle Symphony. Members of Seattle Pro Musica have also appeared on GRAMMY Award- winning and GRAMMY-nominated albums by Ricky Kej and Wouter Kellerman. Most importantly, Seattle Pro Musica is beloved by a community of listeners and supporters who make everything we do possible. STATEMENT ON CULTURAL EQUITYEveryone deserves equal access to a full and vibrant creative life, and this access is essential to a free and healthy society. To support the creative life of our community, Seattle Pro Musica commits to policies and practices of cultural equity that foster equal access, inclusion, and justice.

As we pursue our artistic mission, we will hold ourselves accountable to cultural equity. By acknowledging and challenging inequities, both as an individual arts organization and in partnership with others, we can and will make change happen.
