Opportunities From: United Way of King County

Washington Business Week (WBW) teaches students professional, leadership, and finance skills over the course of week-long intensive educational programs where students are put in real world situations and given the opportunity to perform. Over the week, students meet professionals from all industries and hear their stories. Our networking evening is one of the best ways for students to connect with people from careers they might want to work, while also learning how to network in professional settings. In this two-hour after work mock networking event, we'll serve you and the students mocktails (or at least lemonade) as you chat with students in a casual setting. In the first hour you'll network with students and the second hour is for professional networking with the other volunteers.

Co-Hosted with the Renton Chamber of Commerce.

Now you can make a difference for the next generation with only a few hours. At Washington Business Week, high school students learn crucial life skills as they role-play as industry professionals, launch a company, and solve real-world challenges. Who will be the winning team? You be the judge!

At our end-of-week competition, the fresh faces and questions of the judges are what make our events both challenging and unforgettable. You'll return to work on Monday refreshed and inspired by the innovation and teamwork of the next generation.

This is a great way to give back and connect with the next generation of leaders. No experience is required.

Become a volunteer mentor! Join a fun community! 

Rally Club Seattle is recruiting mentors for its “lunch bunch” group mentor community. Programming takes place onsite at Greenlake Elementary School in  NE Seattle (2400 N 65th St,  Seattle, WA 98103)  weekly on Mondays from 12-1pm.

Rally Club focuses on community and making meaningful connections. Connectedness not only has a powerful protective effect on mental health, but also improves other youth outcomes such as academic competence, concern for others, and confidence. Caring mentors like you create a welcoming, fun, and inclusive community that youth want to be a part of. Time is spent in larger group activities as well as in small groups and in giving individualized attention. Activities are tailored to youth need and interest.

Some great reasons to join:

-Community is good for all of us, and volunteering has measurable health benefits. 

-Our group format allows for others to cover absences, so although we ask for a once a week, semester commitment, it’s realistic.

-You can join with friend! It’s not only fun, but also provides the kids with healthy examples of adult friendships.

Role Overview 

Rainier Athletes' (RA) mission is to affirm our youth’s sense of purpose and belonging by intentionally connecting their core community of teachers, coaches, families, and mentors. Once selected, each student is paired with a dedicated one-on-one mentor in elementary and middle school and a Squad Leader in high school. Each student is also sponsored to participate in sports/extra-curricular activities year-round throughout their duration with Rainer Athletes. Students begin their RA journey in 4th grade and continue through high school graduation and beyond.  

To sustain our impact with the growing number of Rainier Athletes high school students and families, we are seeking enthusiastic, dedicated individuals to serve as Squad Leaders for small groups of high school students. Squads consist of four or five students of similar ages. Squad Leaders are tasked with building relationships with students in their squad(s) as well as their students’ families, teachers, and others in the community. 

Responsibilities include coordinating logistics and prepping for weekly hour-long Squad Meet-Ups. These Squad Meet-Ups may include topical discussions, study sessions, or other activities to strengthen relationships and build towards each student’s next step plan after high school. Collaboration is a key element to the program’s success; Squad Leaders will have hour-long weekly formal opportunities to connect with other Squad Leaders and RA’s High School Program Manager to share highlights, challenges, and best practices.

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*:

We place mentors in each of our classes to assist teaching artists and to build positive relationships with youth. Mentors commit between 40 and 50 hours of their time each eight-week quarter, participating in all classes and the End of Quarter Show. During the eight-week Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters, the mentoring schedule is:

Two days a week (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) from 4:30pm - 7:00pm + End of Quarter Show

Our Summer Quarter and Partner Program mentoring needs vary

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!

The middle school years are a tough time for young people. This time of transition is filled with myriad changes: increased responsibilities, peer pressure, confusion and lack of motivation, in addition to natural changes. This is the time when young adults are building their self-esteem and their confidence. Unfortunately, many students go through these changes alone because they don’t know where to turn. They feel misunderstood by their peers, or maybe have difficult relationships with their family. These formative years are when they love and rely on friends and need the most authentic support.

This is where you are important. As a volunteer mentor, you are that friend and support system. Through spending time together, having fun and enjoying each other, your student partner will become more confident and comfortable in his or her own skin. Your mentee will have a glimpse of your life and experiences, which many times are vastly different than theirs. In return, you will be welcomed into your student’s life, as you create the foundation of newfound knowledge and friendship.

As a mentor, you will spend time with your youth three times a month: twice one-on-one, and once during our monthly group workshops. Even if you are busy, if you have four free hours a month, you can make a difference.

A key part of our program is building a community for our youth; along with one-on-one time spent with you, everyone attends monthly program sponsored outings. While these outings appear to be simply for fun, they have a large learning component, and in them we discuss topics important to our students, such as body image and confidence, bullying, communication, dating, and family. These outings are scheduled once a month and vary in location to allow for variety to the group and scheduling.

Think back to your middle school experience. How amazing would it have been to have had a mentor – a person dedicated to your success – to look up to and from whom to gain benefit? By giving just hours each month, you can become a permanent good in a young person’s life. We all deserve to become the best version of ourselves that we can be.  Sign up for more information and you could give a middle school youth the love, support, and friendship they need.

The main purpose of the Street Yoga’s Board is stewarding relationships with donors to increase funds along with governance of the organization and offering strategic advice about the direction of the organization. Specific goals for this year include hiring more trainers across the country to support our numerous trainings and maximize the organization's database analytics to enable us to strengthen our nationwide network of donors.

The Board meets monthly; and each meeting consists of a ​two-hour discussion. We ask for 10hr a month time commitment working toward our collective goals and a $500 annual raise or donate contribution. There will be yoga events and fundraising events to attend throughout the year and there may also be some follow-up questions/discussions by email. When joining the Board, we do ask members to sign a Board Agreement.

In every delicious dish there is a special sauce.

Three times per month, as scheduled between our mentors and their students, we come together to build bonds that last a lifetime. The first two meetings each month are designed for our mentors and our young adults to meet one-on-one to develop trust and kinship, and to discuss topics pertinent to students in today’s world. The third meeting brings us all together to convene on what we have learned.

At our monthly workshops the students learn skills that will help them navigate different hardships that are typical during middle school. Some of these topics include, cyber bullying, social media safety, healthy living, and how to avoid drugs and dating violence.

When you and your student meet for your one-on-one time, you are have fun, laugh together, learn together, and get to know each other. As a mentor, you are there as an older, wiser friend, to help guide your student through difficult times, like learning to take responsibility for mistakes, and through incredible times, like watching your friend pass a difficult test, make a sports team or club, or volunteer at local events. Through your actions, you will help your mentee learn how to navigate through the confusions of adolescence by talking through all options and paving a pathway for success and happiness.

Our mentors meet students wherever they may be in life. Each mentor and student relationship is a little different – some matches are going to be more academically driven, while others are going to be more focused on talking about life.

We are all here for a great purpose, and you have the potential to make a young person’s life brighter! Don’t just be, be the best version of you that you can be. Inspire. Create. Teach. Laugh. Guide. Mentor.
