Volunteer: Board Member

Seattle 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 EQUITY

Everyone 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.

We recognize cultural equity as a framework of values, policies, and practices that ensures arts institutions serve the needs of all people, especially those who have historically been underserved based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion.

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.

WHAT SPM IS LOOKING FOR IN BOARD MEMBERS

Must have a passion for the performing arts and their role in civic life.

Must wish to serve a smaller but growing organization.

Must be committed to cultural equity.

Must go beyond volunteering time and energy to providing strategic leadership for future growth.

Especially seeking BIPOC members of the community who will make our board a truer reflection of the racial diversity of Seattle.

Especially seeking professionals in the fields of DEI, finance/accounting, law, philanthropy, grantwriting, fundraising, and change management.

WHAT SPM BOARD SERVICE HAS TO OFFER

Seattle Pro Musica is a highly regarded organization poised to grow with respect to its influence on the Pacific Northwest performing arts scene and in the world of choral performance at the national and international levels. We’re looking for energetic individuals from outside our traditional circles who share our passion for our mission and want to move our board from an organizing board dominated by ensemble members to a governing or even institutional board of community members who can focus on long-range strategic planning and fundraising in support of our mission.

Volunteer: Spread Love, Joy, and Frosting as a volunteer baker in Bellingham, WA!

Help us spread love, joy and frosting as a volunteer baker in Bellingham, WA!

For Goodness Cakes works with foster agencies and care homes to match volunteers to bake and deliver birthday cakes to disadvantaged youth and young adults in many locations across the US.

We are looking for volunteer bakers to join our Sprinkle Squad of intrepid bakers to help put smiles on a child’s face. The opportunity is flexible around your schedule, whether you can commit to one cake a year or fifty. You don’t have to be a master cake decorator to help out, even a simple cake can make the day sweet!

These children and young adults' lives when we connect with them are centered around fixing their immediate traumas - be it neglect, poverty, or abandonment. For Goodness Cakes presents a unique opportunity to help give them the chance to disconnect from that trauma, and give hope in the world around them. It produces such an incredible impact from a small effort that almost anyone can join and give back around their own busy schedules.

You can check out our website at the link below to take our online orientation and begin baking cakes! This training is mandatory for all volunteers, and there are zero exceptions. You'll learn about how we work, what to expect from your volunteer experience, and all about food safety - because that's our number one priority! When you become a volunteer you'll be baking out of your own home, choosing cakes to bake and deliver around your own schedule, so it's imperative you understand the risks and liabilities.

Keep in mind that you must be at least 18 years old, are able to make deliveries in the County you provide, and you must pass with a 90% or more within two attempts. Baking with us is not a group activity and we ask that you sign up with our organization as an individual.

By responding to this listing we will reach out to you. Hope to see you on the Sprinkle Squad soon!

Story from Amelia, Case Manager: “Our Fresh Start shower program volunteers do several different jobs such as greet clients, check them in, help them find clothing, and refreshing/sanitizing the showers. While doing these jobs, many volunteers get to know our clients. When we have regular clients and volunteers, our volunteers can be seen as mentors to our clients. Our clients talk to them and tell them about life or problems that they’re going through, and our volunteers listen to them, support them, and encourage them.”

This is an outdoor position and will be subject to inclement weather, proper coverings and equipment will be supplied. The ability to stand, bend and move around for some periods of time is strongly suggested. Loose, comfortable clothing with applicable layers for weather and closed-toed comfortable shoes is required. There will be a minimum of two shower attendants per shift along with program staff.

Volunteer: HELP YOUNG ADULTS AVOID HOMELESSNESS

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A YOUNG ADULT'S LIFE.

Over 1,500 youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 are homeless or unstably housed in King County. Shelter beds and community resources are limited, leaving the vast majority of young people without access to food or safe housing.

Through the YMCA Host Homes Program, you have the opportunity to be a champion for some of these young adults facing who are facing homelessness.

WHAT IS THE YMCA HOST HOMES PROGRAM?

Host Homes is a 6-month transitional housing program that matches young people ages 18 - 24 who are at risk of experiencing homelessness with caring hosts in the community who can provide the space and opportunity young adults need to build independent living skills, gain stability, and focus on goal attainment. While enrolled, young adults receive 1-on-1 case management support as well as access to wrap-around services through the YMCA Social Impact Center.

Hosts are volunteers in King County who want to make a difference in the life of a young person. They offer a room in their home that provides safe, short-term housing to a young adult who needs support to focus on housing, employment, education, and/or other stabilizing goals. Hosts receive guidance and support from our Team every step of the way.

It is important to us that young people have the opportunity to be matched with host families that fit within their cultural orientation and individual lifestyle. We are searching for host families that come from various backgrounds and experiences. Host families may be single, married or partnered and represent a wide range of ethnicities, religions, sexual identities, cultures, etc.

One common trait that all host families have is their passion, commitment and dedication in making a positive difference in the lives of young people.

WHO CAN BE A HOST HOME PROVIDER?

Families who want to give back to their community and serve as a support for a young adult experiencing homelessness may be interested in joining the YMCA Host Homes program. Although Host Homes is a short 6-month commitment, many Hosts and participants find that their connection continues long after their exit. 

Host Homes is also a great opportunity for prospective foster parents who would like to try living with a young person for 6 months before committing to something more long-term.

All hosts must meet the following criteria:

Host families must be 21 years of age or older. Have a spare bedroom or private space within their home. Pass a background OR reference check. Have homeowner or renters insurance and live within King County. Must be willing to complete a home inspection and training program.

WHAT ARE HOST HOME PROVIDERS' RESPONSIBILITIES?

Host families are asked to:

Provide temporary stable housing for six months. Provide a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment for trust and friendship to develop between the young person and your family. Create agreements with the young person and hold them accountable to those agreements. The opportunity to participate in your family’s daily life and events, make them feel a part of the family with the same privileges and obligations. Provide a private bedroom with a bed and meals. Maintain close contact with the Host Home Recruiter and address problems and concerns (difficulty adapting to family, behavior etc.) as they occur.

Once enrolled, Hosts will receive a monthly stipend to offset any expenses associated with having another person in the home.

Please note: Hosts are NOT expected to provide any financial assistance to the young adult - they will work with their Case Manager who will support them with any expressed needs.

If you are already hosting a young adult between the ages of 12 - 24 and are not a parent or guardian, you may be eligible for supports through our Kinship Host Homes model.

It is meant to help organizations take stock of where they are at and daylight a way forward.

Grounded in the Five Elements of a Healthy Nonprofit Assessment, Pathways helps organizations reflect on their own ability to:

Exercise strong governance and oversight Demonstrate good management practices and a healthy organizational culture Secure the resources needed to carry out their missions and be accountable for the management of funds Communicate and steward relationships with people who give them money, use what they create, help them meet their mission, and carry their message Deliver efficient and effective programs, services, and administrative systems

Pathways consultants work in teams of two to:

Facilitate the self-assessment process and help an organization come to a consensus on where they are in regards to each of the five elements Discuss easily addressed opportunities and help the organization determine priorities for additional consultation Refer to curated recommendations in addition to doing a little research of their own to compose tailored suggestions to help the organization move the needle in a positive way

The entire Pathways process includes a series of four meetings held over the course of 2-3 months and approximately 25 hours of service per consultant.

Grounded in the Five Elements of a Healthy Nonprofit Assessment, Pathways helps organizations reflect on their own ability to:

Exercise strong governance and oversight Demonstrate good management practices and a healthy organizational culture Secure the resources needed to carry out their missions and be accountable for the management of funds Communicate and steward relationships with people who give them money, use what they create, help them meet their mission, and carry their message Deliver efficient and effective programs, services, and administrative systems

Pathways consultants work in teams of two to:

Facilitate the self-assessment process and help an organization come to a consensus on where they are in regards to each of the five elements Discuss easily addressed opportunities and help the organization determine priorities for additional consultation Refer to curated recommendations in addition to doing a little research of their own to compose tailored suggestions to help the organization move the needle in a positive way

The entire Pathways process includes a series of four meetings held over the course of 2-3 months and approximately 25 hours of service per consultant.

Volunteer: Habitat Restoration Work Parties!

The Nisqually Land Trust hosts habitat restoration work parties every Wednesday and occasional Saturdays year-round. We're at various sites throughout the Nisqually River Watershed, from Olympia to Ashford, planting trees, removing invasive species, picking up trash, and much more. It's a great way to experience firsthand the beautiful areas throughout the watershed on Land Trust properties. It's also an awesome way to get some exercise while performing a service for one of the most unique watersheds in Washington State. These projects not only help the ecology of the area, but also improve water quality for salmon and people!

A comprehensive list of events can be found on our website. Otherwise, any questions can go to our Volunteer Coordinator at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org or (360) 489-3400 x106.

Thanks, and we hope to see you on the land!

Volunteer: Become a Land Trust Site Steward!

Do you have a love for the land, and the plants, animals and the other life it supports? Do you want to help take care of the special places you love? Do you spend your free time romping through the woods looking at plants and insects?

If you answered yes to any of these questions or wish you had, becoming a Site Steward with the Nisqually Land Trust may be a good fit for you! Our volunteer stewards "adopt" one of the Land Trust's properties in the Nisqually River watershed, and periodically monitor it for positive and negative changes, such as: wildlife signs, plant growth and regeneration, signs of trespass, invasive plant species, and many others. There is also the opportunity to do work on the land such as invasive species removal or trash collection as needed.

We ask that you complete at least 4 site visits a year. Once you communicate your interest, we will be in touch further to walk you through picking a site and set up a time to do an on-site orientation.

The Nisqually Land Trust protected areas are along the Nisqually River from the Olympia area to Ashford, WA.

If interested, please contact Emily Simroth at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org.

Volunteer: Web UI/UX Designer Developer

Nourishing Networks supports grassroots hunger relief projects with fiscal sponsorship and networking to help them be successful right out of the gate. A big part of that will be having a great web site that helps connect people in need to food resources, people with food resources to those who need them, and coordinate it all to avoid duplication while identifying and filling gaps.

We're looking for an experienced Web designer and developer to lead the effort to take our web site to the next level. It's an opportunity to use your professional skills remotely from home in your spare time to make a big difference in helping hungry families.

It would be great if you had experience in architecting and designing responsive easy-to-use web sites with striking visuals and modern web technologies, including integration with fundraising tools and social media. Being able to express design ideas to the all-volunteer NNC Leadership Team is important to get buy-in to move ahead with development and deployment. We're also looking for skills in search engine optimization to help people find the site. We'd be happy to chat about the kind of things we have in mind. Even if your skills cover only part of the effort, your contributions would be welcome and appreciated!

Boilerplate stuff: Nourishing Networks Consortium (NNC) is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit in Washington State and has been in operation since 2012. Our purpose is to build resilient networks to mobilize, connect, strengthen, and support communities to increase their capacity to tackle local challenges. We develop, support, and connect individuals, formal, and informal networks within communities. These local volunteers, state and federal agencies, NGOs, corporations, and faith communities forge cross-sector, purpose-driven efforts that leverage local resources to create sustainable solutions to make sure everyone is well nourished.

Thanks for considering volunteering with Nourishing Networks!
