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!

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!

God's Li'l Acre is a hygiene and community kitchen program in the Lake City Neighborhood of Seattle. As of February 2019, we began receiving City of Seattle Funding to expand hours of operation to be open from 9am - 4pm. 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.

What is Sidewalk Pantry?

Each Friday our team delivers new essential items to houseless neighbors in 3 rotating neighborhoods: Belltown, Capitol Hill, and the U District. While distributing items, we gather feedback from these neighbors so we can always bring the most useful items at any given time. We also use this time to provide information and maps for our program called The Pledge, in which businesses all over Seattle offer free services, from coffee or food to clothing and haircuts, for houseless neighbors.
