St. Leo Food Bank is one of the largest food banks in Pierce County currently serving between 200-300 families daily. We are currently looking for more volunteers to help with supporting our food bank, by greeting and escorting clients, processing donations, and helping unload trucks and lifting. We are open for volunteering Monday-Saturday starting everyday at 8:30AM. We ask that all volunteers be over the age of 16 to come unsupervised, but all ages under 16 are welcome to volunteer with direct supervision by a parent or guardian. Volunteer groups are allowed, but we ask that groups be a maximum of 10 people. A short training/orientation will happen before volunteering. We ask that individuals and groups volunteer with us a minimum of 1.5 hours, so they have time to be oriented, get to know what we do, and enough time to complete a project or help with a food line shift.

You’re invited! We are currently welcoming new members to join our team of business and community volunteers to deliver the compelling CHOICES workshop in middle schools in your community.
 
What is CHOICES?

CHOICES is an interactive decision-making workshop that focuses on keeping teens in school, motivating them toward their education and future, and introducing them to practical life skills, such as time management, money management, goal setting and self discipline to help them succeed.  Volunteers take students through interactive real-world exercises about the consequences of dropping out and the opportunities gained by staying in school. Started by a Seattle dad in 1984 to break through to his son, we have since served 6 million teens across the nation.
 

Techbridge Girls is an award-winning nonprofit that provides free after-school STEM education to girls in the South Seattle area. We are looking for women in STEM to become Techbridge Girl Role Models and come speak to the girls in our programs about the variety of work in STEM fields and any challenges they overcame during their career. With this model we hope to breakdown STEM stereotypes and encourage girls to realize that a STEM career is achievable.

We only ask that volunteers participate in a brief 30 minute online training session!

Photo Booth volunteers provide our guests with a tangible memory of their time here at ACM - a photo of their party in a 1923 Buick. This is a free featured offered to all our guests. Volunteers in this area assist guests in and out of the car, take their picture, provide a physical copy, and offer to email a copy to the guest. Most importantly though, they provide extra information on the car and encourage guests to get silly and create the most memorable picture that they can. Photo Booth volunteers

Volunteers in our Speed Zone help visitors to experience the thrill of high speed driving…without the speeding tickets. Speed Zone volunteers guide visitors on the use of our state of the art racing simulators. Volunteers in this area may also assist with our Miller Slot Car Circuit, instructing visitors on how to use the slot cars and keeping the tiny turbos on their designated tracks. The Speed Zone is a great place for volunteers interested in technology, racing, and hands-on activities!

Events volunteers assist with the 500+ events held at ACM each year, including parties, weddings, proms, organization meetings, celebrations of life, and more. The assistance needed varies depending on the event but the most common roles involve greeting, checking in, and directing guests to their event space as well as monitoring the event space and galleries. Events occur at just about any time, though the majority of events are held in the events and over the weekends. This is a great option for volunteers with 9-5pm work weeks!

Collections Monitors help to keep our collection safe and our visitors informed and entertained. They typically roam the museum, chatting with guests, answering questions, and sharing stories or other tidbits of information. They also keep an eye on the vehicles in the collection, gently reminding visitors not to cross the exhibit barriers or touch the cars they see on display. Collection Monitors are the face of ACM!

Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer your time and skills to helping the underserved community? Do you also have a passion for mentoring and supporting young adults? Vietnam Health Clinic (VHC) is currently recruiting for new board members in the Greater Seattle area and we want you to join our community of college students, healthcare professionals and motivated leaders who are looking to make a difference. No healthcare or Vietnamese affiliations needed.

VHC is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care access and services to under-resourced populations of Vietnam, while promoting proactive learning and firsthand experience in primary care for our student members. VHC hosts mobile health clinics in rural Vietnam, providing services such as medical, dental, optometry, physical therapy, pharmaceutical and public health education. With the help of student members and healthcare professionals along with our local community, sponsors and volunteers, we have been able to provide aid to over 13,000 patients over the past ten years. We have now started to expand our health services to support low-income patients in the Greater Seattle area as well, starting with a partnership with International Community Health Services (ICHS).

What’s unique about VHC is that we integrate student mentorship into the goal of our mobile health clinic, providing student members with valuable clinical experience working alongside healthcare professionals in Vietnam. Leading up to the mobile health clinic, we train students to prepare for every aspect of an international mobile health clinic - from measuring vitals, taking medical history, interpret and assist our health professionals to cultural competency. In addition, all students work to raise funds, acquire supplies, and plan logistics for the trip; allowing them to develop important skills like communication, work ethic, leadership and teamwork. Since the creation of VHC, over 350 students have volunteered with us and more than 40% have gone on to successfully pursue careers in healthcare.

VHC board members provide valuable guidance and resources to strengthen the impact that our nonprofit has on the community while helping to guide the lives of young people. We are looking for board volunteers who want a meaningful way to contribute their time and skill that is reflective of their passion and values. We encourage you to apply and learn more about our organization!

Are you looking for something fun to do... do you like to drive... do you want to make a difference and help people? Volunteer driving is an opportunity to help seniors in your community. You can control the amount of time you want to be involved. Most volunteers drive once a week, some twice a week, others every other week. We are very flexible and will work with your schedule.

Using your own vehicle, you would help older adults maintain their independence by taking them to much needed medical appointments. Clients greatly appreciate their improved access to medical care, meaningful interactions with caring volunteers, and increased peace of mind. Unfortunately, the program does not have enough drivers to meet the growing demand for transportation from King County seniors.

Our volunteer drivers do a lot more than drive! By volunteering with Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation Program, drivers not only provide needed transportation but companionship for both the senior and the volunteer.

We really need YOU! Help make a huge difference in the lives of seniors near you by becoming a volunteer driver.

For more information please click the "respond" button and we will follow up with you!  

Volunteer Transportation is a program of Sound Generations, a non-profit organization working to help seniors remain safely independent and connected to their communities. Every week, there are a growing number of older adults in need of transportation but not enough volunteers to do it all. It is heartbreaking to know that for many, the only barrier to accessing medical care is just a ride away.

Getting to the doctor’s office is a daunting task for many local seniors. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving; limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus; taxis come with prohibitive costs; and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. So who do they turn to? Fortunately, volunteer drivers can fill the gap.

Help make a huge difference in the lives of seniors near you by becoming a volunteer driver. This opportunity is extremely flexible, allowing volunteers to pick the days, times, frequency, and areas they wish to drive. Help more seniors get "on the road" to improved health and peace of mind by becoming a volunteer today!

For more information please click the "respond" button and we will follow up with you!

We know that all students can succeed.  But, many students growing up in low-income communities face adversity that affects their ability to come to school every day, ready to learn.

City Year places teams of AmeriCorps members in high-need schools full-time, alongside teachers, to provide individualized academic and social emotional supports to help students thrive and to improve the school-wide learning environment.

City Year’s Seattle / King County site currently serves over 4600 students in 10 elementary and middle schools around South Seattle.

The mission of a City Year site board is to serve as a highly-engaged and deeply-committed team of volunteer leaders who tap their collective wisdom, resources, and experiences to enable City Year to achieve impact, scale, and success in their community.

First and foremost, impact. You will have an opportunity to engage and make a difference in thousands of lives across multiple generations of leaders locally and nationally: Board, staff, AmeriCorps members, students, champions, and partners. Your leadership will be a driving force in helping students stay in school and on track to graduate college - and be career ready. Second, you will have access to a broad, local and national professional network through City Year’s corporate, civic, and private partners, 28 peer site boards, and the national board of trustees. Third, you’ll have the pride of serving with an organization with strong values and a program backed by research, community support, and results. You’ll also have a lot of fun along the way!

We’re looking for leaders who want to make a difference in our communities, and are working to build a Board that is as diverse as the communities we serve.

It is important to clarify CYSKC’s site board is advisory in nature. That means although site boards play an important role in building the organization locally and nationally, they do not have formal legal authority or fiduciary responsibilities. 

We understand that City Year is one part of your life so we work to create individually sustainable engagement plans so members can easily balance professional and personal commitments. There are many ways you can impact City Year’s mission and success as a board member; however, here are three key ways we ask each board member to apply their expertise, leadership, and time:

For more than 60 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a difference in the lives of youth facing adversity throughout King and Pierce counties. Volunteer mentors have been the foundation of much of the work we do, yet we recognize that many talented and driven individuals aren’t able to make the ongoing commitment mentoring requires.

The role of Donation Bin Ambassador requires less time and energy, but still contributes to a brighter future for our kids. To help fund mentoring programs, our donation center collects and resells clothing, shoes, and other household items. Each bin raises an average of $5500 per year, which goes to directly impacting the work we do and supporting local youth. As we grow to serve more kids, we need to add bins throughout King and Pierce counties.

If you believe your workplace or community group would be willing to host a Big Brothers Big Sisters donation bin, we’d love to know! As a Donation Bin Ambassador, you would be responsible for promoting the program to your coworkers and community, as well as informing Big Brothers Big Sisters when the bin is full so we can schedule pick up. The time commitment is limited, but you can make a major impact!

Morning or afternoon volunteers are welcome, with a particular interest in volunteers from NE Seattle. If volunteers live in the area served by the day center, neighborly relationships and connections with people experiencing homelessness carry over into everyday interactions - in which we are no longer strangers to one another. 

Activities at GLA include: personal storage, community kitchen, clothing depot, laundry, showers, phone, mail distribution, internet, resources, referral and companionship. The number of guests who visit GLA range from 50-60 people. Guests generally range in age from 35-60 years, who are typically single male from a variety of backgrounds. Many guests could be described as chronically homeless with numerous challenges that make it difficult to find housing and employment. Although challenges may include disability, anger management, experiences of abuse, broken relationships, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental illnesses; volunteers and staff at GLA seek to affirm the creativity, resiliency, generosity, skills, assets and giftedness of each person. The center becomes a place of peace and respite amidst the chaos of peoples lives. In the dynamic of comings and goings of people, the staff of volunteers, interns and community ministers are witness to many experiences of grace. The center practices modalities of person-centred, trauma-informed companionship with persons experiencing homelessness.

More About What We Do

Communities In Schools (CIS) is the nation’s #1 model for delivering Integrated Student Supports. The key to our mission is to implement our model of site coordination delivering Integrated Student Supports aimed at removing barriers, both social and academic, for students who are at high risk of dropping out. Our unique model places trained site coordinators inside schools to identify at-risk students. Working with school leaders and community partners, the site coordinator provides services and supports through two levels. One level focuses on school-wide needs and the second level provides individual case management supports to address the needs of high-risk students. Our site coordinators help link existing services to students for their identified needs. CIS recruits and trains hundreds of community volunteers each year to work as mentors, speakers and tutors who provide consistent adult guidance, life skills modeling, academic assistance and set the expectation for success in school and in life. Across Washington, more than 73,000 students were served by Communities In Schools Affiliates last year.

Mission: Our mission is to help students from low-income backgrounds transform what they believe is possible for themselves and develop the skills they need to become college-educated leaders who give back to their families and communities.

Results and Impact: Our program works. It gets kids to and through college – with remarkable success rates that beat out even the best local high schools – and reaches beyond academics to help our students see their own potential to succeed in challenging situations and create a ripple effect of lasting, positive change in their communities and in the world. In 2016, 100% of our students graduated high school and 71% of our college students from class of 2010 had completed their Bachelors degree compared with 21% of their peers.
