Northwest Seaport (www.nwseaport.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of our maritime heritage and to the development of maritime-based educational programs and opportunities. We fulfill our mission onboard our fleet of historic vessels:

The Arthur Foss and Lightship No. 83 are registered as National Historic Landmarks. All of our ships provide hands-on platforms for educational programs, public tours, and annual festivals that celebrate workboat culture, boats, music and stories.

Our educational programs range from tugboat storytime for preschoolers to work exchange and boatwright in residence programs for young adults starting their maritime career. We also host the annual Classic Workboat every fall as well as a variety of other public programs throughout the year.

Most of our fundraisers are held onboard our historic ships. They include a St. Patrick’s Day party, Tugboat Happy Hours every Tuesday from mid-July through August, and a fireworks party on the 4th of July. These events, earned income from vessel rentals, and general donations support our operations and educational programs. Most off our restoration efforts are funded through competitive grants.

We have a staff of 1.5 (full-time Executive Director and half time Vessel Manager) as well as a group of regular boatwrights and marine engineers who support our restoration and maintenance efforts on project-specific contracts.

Our board of directors is actively engaged in all aspects of our operation, from writing grants, managing events, and volunteering on our ships to fundraising, providing legal counsel, and building community connections. We are looking for new board members with expertise in any of the following areas:

Northwest Danish Association is a small non-profit organization that does cultural programs and social services in the community. We would love to have some help from experienced fundraisers who can help us find new funds through for example new donors, grants, events, or other means. We are working to expand as an organization and attract more members and need additional funds to do so.

We have a small library here at our organization that needs to be updated, kept organized, and cataloged! Also, we are currently looking to get a catalog of our library online. We would love your help with any or all of these tasks!

The Board will support the work of Seattle ReCreative and provide mission-based leadership and strategic governance.

Schedule a weekly shift in our retail store during which you can choose from projects in to-do binder, tidy store front, adopt a chore (join rotating staff/VIP volunteer chore chart for housekeeping duties), work on an ongoing project, accept/sort donations, and assist customers. Great for volunteers with a regular schedule and a minimum of two hours per week availability.

This position works directly with the programs staff to assist Lead teachers at scheduled outreach events. We have a full calendar of events in parks, at museums, enriching partner summer camps, and all over town this summer. We need outgoing individuals to help at our tables, assisting with crafts, talking about our mission and offerings, helping staff with set up, clean up, and transportation to outreach events. Education or community outreach experience is essential, access to a car is a strong plus! We're looking for individuals that can commit to a minimum of three hours a month.

This level is for the person who has a busy schedule but wants to help when they get a free minute. You will be trained on how to process materials in various areas and use the volunteer to-do binder to complete tasks (organized by the amount of time they take) when you stop in. Projects might include materials processing (sorting/pricing donations, helping customers) or outreach class prep (poking holes in caps, cutting paper to size, unpacking/sorting used outreach go-packs. This is perfect for volunteers with 2-10 hours available per month.

Can you write grants? Can you help us obtain the funds to support our needed programs? For over 30 years the Alternative Humane Society has survived based on our fund-raising, adoptions, and donations. We have two great needs that we cannot manage to underwrite on our own: preventing unwanted dog and cat births through spay/neuter assistance and vet bills for the dogs that come to us with severe health issues. We have already saved thousands of animals, educated and supported the community, but it is not enough. With proper funding, we can help to break the cycle of unwanted pet births. We know the funding is there, we need someone with the skills to help us obtain it.

Experience researching grant opportunities. The ability to make initial contacts with grantors; organized and able to follow instructions carefully; skills at writing proposals; persuasive--effective and fluent use of language; willingness to follow through with grant completion activities; able to manage deadlines; ability to pull together information from various sources.

“Spending time with someone who is dying makes me realize what is truly important in my own life.” – EvergreenHealth Hospice Volunteer

 EvergreenHealth Hospice is seeking kind and caring individuals to share their time and talents with our hospice patients and their families.

 The comprehensive training you receive will help you to open your heart to understanding the circumstances a hospice patient and their loved ones are facing, and give you the practical and emotional tools to feel confident about offering them the assistance you have been trained to provide. Compassionate presence, just sitting quietly with a patient is another skill our training will provide you with.

 This assistance can include: running errands, playing card games, listening to a person's life story, reading or singing, playing or listening to music, or watching TV with a patient. A volunteer’s presence can help lessen a patient’s loneliness by providing them with companionship. And caregivers find relief when a volunteer comes by to stay with a patient while he or she enjoys some much needed personal time off.

 We especially need people who can volunteer in the community – in patient’s homes, adult family homes, and nursing homes. EvergreenHealth Hospice serves patients in King and Snohomish Counties and you are free to choose where your assignment will be.

 Volunteers are integral members of the hospice team and receive support from their team including the social worker and nurse assigned to the family they are working with. Ongoing hospice education and friendly volunteer gatherings are offered throughout the year.

 If you feel your heart responding to this type of service, and you would like to join our community of compassionate volunteers, contact us

“Spending time with someone who is dying makes me realize what is truly important in my own life.” – EvergreenHealth Hospice Volunteer

 EvergreenHealth Hospice is seeking kind and caring individuals to share their time and talents with our hospice patients and their families.

 The comprehensive training you receive will help you to open your heart to understanding the circumstances a hospice patient and their loved ones are facing, and give you the practical and emotional tools to feel confident about offering them the assistance you have been trained to provide. Compassionate presence, just sitting quietly with a patient is another skill our training will provide you with.

 This assistance can include: running errands, playing card games, listening to a person's life story, reading or singing, playing or listening to music, or watching TV with a patient.

And caregivers find relief when a volunteer comes by to stay with a patient while he or she enjoys some much needed personal time off.

 We especially need people who can volunteer in the community – in patient’s homes, adult family homes, and nursing homes. EvergreenHealth Hospice serves patients in King and Snohomish Counties and you are free to choose where your assignment will be.
