Opportunities From: United Way of King County

The purpose of Abbey Arts volunteer program is to support the active engagement of our community with the arts on an ongoing basis. Our small events naturally create community and boost empathy, and our volunteer team is a vital part of creating that welcoming space for everyone who comes to an Abbey Arts event. 

Our mission is to curate welcoming arts & cultural experiences where people of all ages and incomes can explore creativity, enjoy beauty, grow empathy, and increase awareness. 

We aim for Abbey Arts produced events to be focused on the beauty of live music and the arts. Music & arts events help people take time away from the busy distractions of daily life, put down their digital devices, and really engage in an experience. We believe this can help us all grow more empathy and build awareness while connecting more with others in the community. 

Why Volunteer?

 By cleaning, repairing, and helping with community projects at Abbey Arts you’re empowering 1000’s of people of all ages & incomes to be able to experience the arts, music, and community... and thereby greatly improving their quality of life.  Your volunteer work is integral to our sustainability as a lean and limber small nonprofit since our budget mostly goes to providing programs.

RASKC welcomes applicants who would like to help cats in the mornings by cleaning their condos and colony rooms, in addition to doing other prep work in the Cat Adoptions Building. You may help rabbits too, if you like. Other duties include: monitoring cats' health, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, and taking out the garbage. This is a terrific workout that brings so much joy to the cats!

Among the open positions, you may usually choose a weekly shift that takes place at least two hours (or longer), starting at 8am or 8:30am.

Next step: Complete an application. Click "respond" and we will follow up with more information. 

If you'd truly like to help animals by washing dishes, doing the laundry, cleaning cat carriersrriers, and helping in other essential ways, please consider joining RASKC's Shelter Helper volunteer team!

This "hands on" work provides the foundation for smooth operations at the shelter. 

It's a terrific workout too!

Got love to share? Consider becoming a foster volunteer!

As a foster volunteer, you would make a short-term commitment to nurture one or more animals from the shelter in your home on a temporary basis. 

Some cats need a break from living at the shelter.  Providing time in your home helps them get ready to be adopted. Many cats need a quiet patch of sunlight to recover from a cold, for example.

RASKC also offers kittens, rabbits, and dogs to foster too.

Are you in a position to help?

Among the animals that are eligible to be fostered, you choose which animal that will go home with you.

Foster volunteers are given training online and 1:1, great support and everything necessary-- free pet food, free medical care for the kitty, free litter, free litter box, free kennel...

When the pet is ready to be adopted, you may choose to:

   a) adopt to a member of the community through RASKC's Adopters Welcome program, or

   b) bring the animal back to the shelter, or

   c) adopt the animal yourself.

You can decide when the time is right for you to foster-- on an ongoing basis or just every once in a while.

Children may participate in the animal care, though an adult in the household must be the official volunteer.

Community service might be available for school (if okay with the school). Usually 1.5 hours is credited for each day an animal is cared for in your home.

1. Complete a RASKC volunteer application.

2. Go to RASKC's website. View the training videos- Modules 1, 2, & 4 - then answer the questions.

3. Submit your completed liability-release form if you are an adult. If you are a youth, the form would need to be completed by your parent/ legal guardian.

Share your love and have fun as a foster parent to sweet fur-baby that needs you.

Thanks for considering this possibility. RASKC looks forward to hearing from you...

RASKC seeks adult volunteers who are very committed to positive dog-engagement, skilled with a wide range of large, untrained, and very energetic dogs, especially German Shepherds, Huskies, and pit bull terriers and mixes. 

This is exhilarating and fulfilling work!

RASKC seeks an initial commitment of a once-a-week shift for about six months (or alternating-week shifts for about a year), equating to about 50 hours out of training.  The shelter accommodates time off for special vacations and so forth.

Key to success with RASKC dogs is kindness, positive reinforcement, following protocols in getting the dogs in and out of the kennels, and accurately reading and responding to dogs' body language.

Key to RASKC's success: a sense of great teamwork between volunteers and staff.

Typically, you would share a shift with three or four other volunteers.

Volunteers harness the dogs and take them out for exercise, affection, and enrichment. If it's super hot out, then enjoy some nice chill time on a bench under a shady tree with the dog.

Dog walkers are color-coded according to the type of dog they are eligible to walk.

. Green: Most Dog Walkers start as color "green" are eligible to work with our friendliest dogs. Not many green positions, if any, are available, however.

. Blue: Dog Walkers who are assessed as "blue" are eligible to take out the shy dogs and the friendly dogs.

. Red: Dog Walkers who are identified as "red" are eligible to walk any of the adoptable dogs, including the ones that need skillful handling.

RASKC needs volunteers who hope to work with "red" dogs.

Next steps:

Please complete RASKC's general application and our Dog Walker application. Click "respond" and we will follow up with more information. 

Not eligible for court-ordered community service.

Thanks!

A precious bunny would love to receive care in your home for a few weeks (or a few months) until an adopter has been identified or until a spot has opened up at Reber Ranch.

RASKC provides free food, free hay, free supplies, plus free medicine and free medical care for the foster animals.

Foster training is provided online with lots of one-on-one support, if needed, from RASKC's Foster Care Coordinator and/or RASKC's Lead Rabbit Volunteer.

Opening your heart and your home to an animal from the shelter on a temporary basis is one of the very best things you can do to help.

It the situation isn't working out for any reason, you can return the bunny back to the shelter the next afternoon.

Children may assist in the animal care, but an adult in the household would need to be the official foster volunteer.

Community service for school might be available (if okayed by the school). Usually 1.5 hours credit is given for each day caring for a foster animal.

Application required. Click "respond" and we will follow up with more information. 

RASKC hopes to hear from you!

Volunteers help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other emergencies, so they don’t have to face tough times alone. Join us and turn your compassion into action by becoming a volunteer today. We are actively recruiting for these critical volunteer roles:

Shelter Support Team: During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required.

Disaster Health Services Team: During large disasters, you can use your professional skills as a licensed healthcare provider to deliver hands on care and education to shelter residents. Free online training will be provided and can count towards nursing continuing education units. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 10-14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required. Qualified licenses include RN, LPN, LVN, EMT, Paramedic, MD, DO, PA, NP, APRN. Only RNs have full scope of practice.

Disaster Action Team: While big hurricanes and wildfires get the most news coverage, smaller disasters are no less devastating to the families affected. Most of the 60,000 emergencies that the Red Cross responds to each year are smaller disasters like home fires. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you can help comfort and support people in your community by meeting any immediate needs such as food, shelter, clothing or supplies and connecting them to long term recovery services. We supply all the training you need.

When a large-scale disaster impacts a community, multiple agencies and resources are needed to walk alongside them to provide response and recovery support. As a Community Engagement & Partnerships (CEP) Service Associate you’ll connect with local partners to build capacity, coordinate activities, integrate expertise, and ensure that all disaster-affected communities, including traditionally underserved populations, have access to Red Cross services.

Your volunteer role involves implementing the CEP plan, engaging with organizations, and supporting multi-agency collaborative efforts to promote regional engagement and inclusive partnerships.

Do you have the flexibility to deploy for two weeks to support communities impacted by disaster? The Red Cross is looking to train willing individuals 18 and older to fill a variety of roles during disaster relief operations. All training and travel expenses are fully covered by the Red Cross.

Monday, January 19th is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service - a National Day of Service that takes place on the third Monday of January each year. The day honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and encourages Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. While Dr. Martin Luther King Jr did not directly advocate for conservation of natural areas, he fought against environmental injustices including fighting for equal access to parks and green spaces during the height of segregation and cleaner working conditions for sanitation workers. Today many environmental advocates count him among the people responsible for today’s thriving environmental justice movement. His words continue to inspire movements seeking equal access to clean water, safe parks, and more for many different communities. Learn More
