Volunteer Testimonials:  

How it feels to be a tutor at YTP: "like I'm helping, maybe if only a little bit, to the students becoming better learners and advocates for themselves" - a current tutor at YTP  

We asked our volunteers what they enjoy most about tutoring with YTP:  

"The students are amazing and I learn something new from them every session"  

"Getting to know the kids... which is a huge difference from other youth outreach experiences. They teach me... how to be better at teaching and are just fun to hang out with"  

"I think my favorite memories will always be watching my student experience "Aha!" moments. Realizing that I am helping this student learn something they previously had trouble with is very satisfying. I also appreciate the strong relationship that we have formed over the year and value it."  

How This Helps Our Community:  

We welcome everyone who wants to help and particularly encourage members of the Black community and people of color to volunteer with us. Almost all of YTP's students are people of color and roughly 85% come from immigrant families and many of our students are of East African descent. We believe African-American tutors will support them in navigating American culture, as tutoring is not only about academics but relationship building and socio-emotional support. We need your help to strengthen our diverse community and raise our collective efforts to improve our students' education across the city.  

Skills Desired*:  

*No Experience Required, but we welcome volunteers with background and experience to apply!

Grocery rescue volunteers accompany a member of Helping Hands Staff to nearby grocery stores to pick up donations. Once the route is completed, the donated food is brought back to Helping Hands Sedro-Woolley facility. 

This job requires the ability to lift up to 50lbs and get in and out of a box truck repeatedly. If you would like to be a Helping Hands driver, our HR department will need a copy of your driver's license and insurance. 

Helping Hands accepts all donations without judgment. This may include inedible food or random items. All products will be sorted on-site at the Sedro-Woolley location. 

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please fill out an application: helpinghandsskagit.org/volunteer/

After checking in with the Food Procurement and Inventory Manager and putting on gloves, the volunteer will stand or sit and sort produce/other food items determining if the food is edible or inedible. If the produce is inedible, it is put in a bucket and taken to local pig farmers. If the produce is edible, it is sorted into crates. Once the crates are filled, they are stacked on a pallet or taken directly to the grocery store.

This volunteer opportunity is great for all abilities. Most volunteers chat and get to know each other while sorting produce while some put on headphones and listen to music.

Time Commitment:

Volunteers are welcome to volunteer for as long as they’d like between the hours listed above. 

Requirements:

If you are interested in this opportunity, please fill out an application on our website: helpinghandsskagit.org/volunteer/

Drivers will pick up their deliveries at the Helping Hands warehouse in Sedro-Woolley. Drivers will sign in, then find their pallet, which will be laid out by the loading dock on the right side of the building as you drive in the parking lot. Each pallet will have a sheet which will show the name of the route and list the name, number, address, and the number of bags allotted to each participant on that route.  If a driver can’t find a residence they can call the participant or the Helping Hands volunteer contact number for clarity. After finishing the route, the mobile driver will return to Helping Hands to drop off any equipment if necessary.

There are mobile delivery routes available Tuesday - Saturday. Drivers should ideally arrive between 7:30am-8:30am, but we are happy to accommodate driver schedules as needed. There are mobile delivery routes in Sedro-Woolley, Anacortes, Hamilton, Burlington, Mount Vernon, Marblemount, Concrete, and one route known as “the Outskirts.” The average route is about two hours, but The Outskirts will take longer.

The Disability Empowerment Center in Seattle is currently working on a project to map out King County to create a searchable database of inclusive, accessible businesses.  The database is on-line and called BluePath (Blue-Path.org).  Anyone can access it to see the accessibility of a business that is listed.

Volunteers are needed to canvas businesses on a friendly basis to ask them if they would like to be listed on the site (it is free).  Volunteers along with business owners/managers then do a quick assessment of the location.  The business will receive a BluePath verified window decal in the mail after being added to the database.

Volunteers will receive training in the Americans with Disabilities Act Title III Public Accommodations, a 2 – hour training that can take place at our downtown office, virtually via zoom, or in-person for teams of 10 or more. 

Volunteers will receive 1 entry per completed survey into the raffles at the end of the Map-A-Thon term (August 8th).  Raffle prizes currently confirmed include:

Seattle Bouldering Project (4 Day Passes with shoe rental, $149 msrp); Argosy Cruises (4 Passes for the Harbor Cruise, $196 msrp); and John’s Crazy Socks (Box of Socks, $150 msrp).

Entering foster care can be incredibly scary and confusing. We provide a soft landing for children when they enter foster care at our emergency shelter in south Bellingham, The Skookum Landing. This house solves what we call “The 72 Hour Problem” by providing a place for children to stabilize and buying time for social workers. We care for kids from all over Western Washington, including Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish, King and Island Counties. 

Volunteers at The Landing help provide kids staying with us a safe and fun environment, participating in activities like local trampoline parks, going to doctor visits, special outings to the movies, and LOTS of parks!
