Volunteer: Staff the Capitol Hill Tool LibraryJoin our crew to learn new skills, connect with your community, and have lots of fun. No prior experience required! How we serve the community The Capitol Hill Tool Library empowers our neighborhood to build DIY skills and improve sustainability, through offering tool borrowing, workspace, and classes. Our inventory includes over 3,000 items, ranging from ice cream makers to hedge trimmers to sewing machines to drills. Our workshop has spaces for woodworking, jewelry making, and 3D printing. And our classes cover everything from backpacking to kombucha brewing wood shop safety to tax prep. We're an entirely volunteer staff, and everything we offer is free or pay-what-you-can so that we can serve everyone in the community. What skills you’ll need Absolutely none. Really! Many of us (including the person writing this listing!) came to the tool library with no DIY, woodworking, or "maker" experience at all - just an interest in connecting with our neighborhood. It’s very easy to learn on the job. What you’ll do We're open six days per week, for three hours each day. You'll pick a day to come in for, where you and one or two other tool librarians will serve patrons and improve the library. This includes checking tools in and out (like a library book), organizing inventory, helping patrons plan their projects, designing outreach and signage, and repairing broken items. During your first shift, you’ll get an orientation from an existing volunteer and we’ll help you find tasks that you enjoy. Why you’ll be excited Staffing the tool library is a fun, rewarding way to connect with your community. You’ll meet your neighbors and help them with projects that they’re infectiously enthusiastic about. You’ll also learn a ton through your own tasks - whether it’s by cataloging new inventory, chatting with patrons, or opening up and trying to repair items. You’ll do all this while working as a team with other sociable, community-minded tool librarians who are excited to make Capitol Hill a better place. You'll also have a chance to meet tool librarians from other shifts at our monthly volunteer potlucks.

Volunteer: Seattle Neighborhood Greenways boardSeattle Neighborhood Greenways (SNG) is an exciting nonprofit organization that needs caring and passionate people like you. More than ever, advocacy for healthy living and shared use of our public spaces is critical. SNG's strong record of working collaboratively has brought our communities many new opportunities to be active and connected. It is an exciting time for SNG and the diverse and community-based organization will play a vital role in re-energizing our city. Some of our recent accomplishments include: Whose Streets? Our Streets! (WSOS): In response to the murder of George Floyd and other people of color at the hands of police, we started the WSOS workgroup to completely rethink traffic law enforcement. Stay Healthy Streets: We envisioned a network of Stay Healthy Streets to give people space to safely travel and recreate during the pandemic. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) responded by implementing over 26 miles of Stay Healthy Streets in 19 locations around the city. Vision Zero is the goal of having zero people die or be seriously injured in traffic on our streets by 2030. Thanks to our advocacy efforts, the city reduced the speed limit on 200 miles of Seattle’s streets and installed 250 traffic crosswalk lights that give people who are walking a head start.Reasons to Get Involved with the Board Give back: SNG’s mission truly does make our communities safer, healthier, more equitable and more sustainable. Creates a new place to play: Opening streets to pedestrians, runners and rollers takes the pressure off our parks and open spaces and provides opportunities for recreation and transportation in all neighborhoods. Make a difference: SNG is still a small (but mighty!) organization and participation from Board members truly makes a difference in the success of the organization. Committed to Safety: SNG is committed to ending traffic deaths and serious injuries which disproportionately impacts communicates of color and unhoused folks. Elevating mobility concerns and needs from the most vulnerable users on our roads is critical to our mission. Collaborative and Inclusive: The SNG Board is full of people who roll up their sleeves to help in whatever way they can. Our organizing style is collaborative, inclusive and coalition-based. Fun: Board members go on optional bike rides, walking tours, and dinner parties together. Interesting: SNG’s work is ever evolving and there is always more to learn.Board Overview The Board is composed of 10-15 people, elected by the Board and ratified by the organization’s membership.

About Seattle Neighborhood Greenways Mission: SNG organizes and mobilizes people to make every neighborhood a great place to walk, bike and live. Vision: Every neighborhood is a great place to walk, bike and live. Seattle Neighborhood Greenways envisions a future where Seattle’s streets unite neighborhoods and connect people to where they need to go. Walking and biking are convenient, safe, comfortable, and even joyful. Children are able to walk and bike to school and to parks. Seniors are able to stay active and connected by walking and biking. Seattle’s streets — one fourth of our total land as a city — incorporate neighborhood priorities for play, relaxation, recreation, greenery, and community-building. The streets and transportation systems are truly accessible and welcoming, and reflect the needs of people of every age, language, ethnicity, gender, race, ability, and level of wealth. Achieving this vision will give us more choices for how to get around, keep us safer, save us money, and reduce climate pollution. Founded: 2011 Place in the nonprofit ecosystem: SNG is the leading walking, biking, and streets for people nonprofit in Seattle. Our scope does not extend outside Seattle, but we work with a variety of other nonprofits that do have a broader geographic scope such as Cascade Bicycle Club, Futurewise, Transportation Choices Coalition, the Sierra Club, and others. Culture: SNG has always been a nimble, inclusive and grassroots organization that cares about people. People will describe us as “punching above our weight,” because even with a relatively small organization we work with our network of hundreds of volunteers to make huge positive changes in our communities. Racial Equity: SNG’s Racial Equity Action Plan 2021-2024 guides the organization’s work. We are committed to: Prioritizing projects identified by communities of color and those serving communities that have long been under-invested in, Our organizing style, which is very collaborative, coalition-based, and rooted in elevating mobility concerns and needs from the most vulnerable users on our roads, Our commitment to ending traffic deaths and serious injuries (Vision Zero), which disproportionately impacts communities of color and unhoused folks, Our vision of traffic enforcement without policing, etc. Values: As an organization that is rooted in people power, we have a tapestry of values that people bring, but some common ones are safety, racial equity, quality of life, a stable climate, public health, and making our society/streets function better for people of all ages and abilities. Structure: The unique grassroots structure of SNG energizes the vision creating a truly bottom-up organization. The Board and the Coalition Leadership have distinct powers and responsibilities. The Board is responsible for overseeing fundraising and good governance of the organization, and the Coalition Leadership is responsible for setting the programmatic priorities of the Organization and ratifying certain Board actions. Track Record: Across the city, we have a proven track record of success. In 2014, we won adoption of the best bicycle infrastructure plan in the country (at the time). In 2015, we were a key player in crafting and passing a transportation levy that primarily invests in climate friendly types of transportation: walking, biking, and transit. In 2016, we led a successful campaign to reduce speed limits on 2,500 miles of our streets. In 2017, we won $83 million for walking, biking, parks, and affordable housing by convening and organizing the Community Package Coalition. In 2018, we put pressure on the mayor through Seattle’s first people protected bike lane and a letter writing drive, and got the city to commit to building out the Basic Bike Network for downtown Seattle (which we designed). In 2019, we won Funding for the first-ever Seattle School District position dedicated to helping kids walk and bike to school. And in 2020, we became the first city in the nation to commit to making 20 miles of Stay Healthy Streets permanent.
