BIDEWW AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM SUMMARY

After several parents engaged us to create a program that will support West African kids with their academic, life and social skills needs, in February of 2022, WAWAC finally created what we call our "BIDEWW" (STAR) After School Program. WAWAC's BIDEWW/star after-school program and homework club seeks to create a culturally appropriate fun and new learning environment that fosters social skills, and provides learning opportunities for our kids through exciting semi-structured activities such as science experiments, cooking classes, arts projects, singing, dancing, music, cinematography, storytelling and more at a culturally appropriate setting for free of charge.

Since the kids spend a lot of time at school where they learn in a structured and formal environment, the BIDEWW After School program is done in a free environment where they still learn fun stuff that they create themselves. Additional recreational activities are also held to encourage them to stay active, healthy, and connected with one another.

This is also a platform for West African kids to interact, learn from each other and build their own community. It is available to school-aged children 5 to 17 years old in Snohomish and King Counties twice a week. Through this platform, the kids of our community explore their artistic instincts through collaborative art projects. It holds significant value for our kids because it inspires them to be creatively driven at an early age. An opportunity that they don't ordinarily receive from their parents, as many West African parents deem art a "waste of time," grossly depriving kids of the possibility to explore their creativity. We pride ourselves on opening our program to a wide range of African kids tailored to their unique needs, identity, and values.

After successfully implementing the pilot Bideww After School program in Snohomish County in September 2022, WAWAC partnered with School’s Out Washington to start a similar program in King County.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

The WAWAC Bideww After School Program Assistant assists the Program Director (PD) in implementing programs outside of school hours for West African children in Washington. His/her role includes:
Assisting PD with Planning, preparing, and implementing an approved curriculum that includes language studies, math, art, social/life skills, and African culture and realities.
Aiding PD with snack time/bathroom
Assisting PD to keep students' mannerisms on point.
Assisting PD with keeping track of newly enrolled students.
Oblige PD with keeping track of all necessary documents relating to the program such as incident reports, compliance forms, transportation request forms, etc.
Implementing daily lesson plans and activities that focus on developing children’s social, life and motor skills.
Study each weekly curriculum given by PD for preparedness.
Follow PD’s schedule provided and any direction given.
Coordinating with PD and assisting with UW student volunteers.
Attending meetings and capacity building training organized by WAWAC funding partners and submitting reports to PD as needed in a timely manner.
Assisting children with assignments and homework, such as reading, writing, and math.
Following and learning materials and equipment, such as books, arts and crafts supplies, stationery, and other necessary items.
Interacting with the children to provide guidance, emotional support, and motivation to complete tasks.
Engaging and meeting with PD to discuss any reports/incidents.
Assisting PD manage the Bideww WhatsApp group chat.
Maintaining an organized/safe environment and helping students learn skills that help them conduct themselves appropriately.
To aid the emotional and social-interactive growth of children, enabling them to communicate their joys as well as their frustrations appropriately.
To encourage the social, physical, and intellectual development of children who attend our after-school program.
REQUIREMENTS

Candidates are required to fill out this job application form and undergo a criminal background check. WAWAC conducts a background check through Watch and requires your details to complete the process. It can take up to 72 hours to receive the results.

Volunteer at Paradise Parking Plots Community Garden and support our refugee neighbors! Our 2-acre community garden provides space for refugee, immigrant and Kent resident gardeners to grow cultural foods and reconnect with the soil. Our shared spaces, such as our food forest, rain gardens, pollinator berms, and restoration areas need a lot of love and attention to stay healthy, productive, and beautiful. Volunteers help to ensure this shared site stays maintained and safe for gardeners to continue grow and nature to thrive.

Do you have weekly or bi-weekly availability to help in the garden? We need you! Consistent, returning volunteers are essential to the health of our garden. And best of all, no prior skills are required! We will train and develop you over time so you can work on increasingly more complex tasks like weeding our food forest, controlling pests and diseases, assisting with minor construction projects, managing our mason bees, or whatever else catches your interest and will enhance our community space. If you are interested, please sign up for this volunteer opportunity and we will follow up within 1-2 weeks to gather more details on your availability and share next steps.

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!

Invest in Youth has been providing tutoring support to students across Seattle for more than 20 years! We match each volunteer tutor with a single student for the entire school year, which fosters a truly meaningful relationship for the student and the tutor. Our program is provided free of charge to all families and schools we work with. We hope you'll join us!

Volunteer tutors are paired with a 3rd, 4th or 5th grade student for a full school year.

From October through May tutors and students meet once per week for an after-school tutoring session (exact location/times can be found here). We ask volunteers to make a commitment to the whole school year.

Tutoring sessions are held at the student's school, last one hour and are supervised by a school coordinator - support and heartfelt appreciation are provided at every tutoring session.

Volunteers can expect to help students with their homework, read books together and work on math problems, all while serving the important role of a mentor.

Looking for a way to give back to your community?

Invest in Youth is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization that provides free after-school tutoring to local elementary students across the city.

If you're looking for a way to get involved or give back to your community, this could be your opportunity!

Hopelink is looking for volunteer career advisers for the English for Work program!

Fall quarter is already underway, so we are looking for advisers for our winter and spring quarters. The next New Adviser Onboarding meetings will be held in January and April 2026.

About English for Work and the Adviser Role

English for Work is a quarter-long English language program, designed for immigrants and refugees who are planning to get a job (or a better job) or enroll in college/job training in the next six months or so. In the class, students improve English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while learning about U.S. work culture, career goal setting, resume writing, and interview preparation.

Each adviser is assigned 2-3 students for the quarter. Advisers work one-on-one with their assigned students, supporting them in setting short-term and long-term career goals, resume writing, English practice, applying for jobs, and preparing for job interviews. Advisers primarily meet with students virtually, with occasional in-person opportunities at local libraries or other local public meeting spaces if student transportation allows.

This is a great role for working folks because the meeting schedules can be flexible. It’s also great for recently retired folks who are looking for ways to give back to the community and share their industry expertise!

We provide training and support to volunteers throughout the quarter.

Adviser Requirements:

As a Meals on Wheels volunteer, you will belong to a team committed to helping homebound seniors maintain their health and independence with nutritious food, personal contact, and caring service.

Volunteer Coordinator:As the Volunteer Coordinator, the main responsibilities are to make sure that homebound elders receive the meals they order, that the necessary volunteers are on hand to pack and deliver the meals, that volunteers are trained and supported, and various office tasks that keep Meals on Wheels humming along on schedule.

In a pinch, the Coordinator can fill in for any member of the Meals on Wheels team, including delivering meals to clients. Training for this position is provided. The time commitment is 5-8 hours weekly. Availability on Thursdays from 8:30am-noon is needed, in addition availability for a few hours on an occasional Tuesday is desired.

Qualities sought in Meals on Wheels volunteers: Commitment to the well-being of elders, good communication skills, reliability, flexibility, attention to detail, resourcefulness, and good cheer.

Requirements: Complete an application. Consent to a background check. Be able to lift 15lbs. Be at least 24 years of age or better. Have a Washington State driver’s license and auto insurance. This is an ongoing, weekly commitment.

All profits from the Thrift Store come back to Jubilee REACH and right back into the community. In order to keep costs low at the store, we keep a minimal staff on board. This means that we need LOTS of helping hands. Every hour volunteered at the Thrift Store is giving funds back to the community.

Thrift Store Duties: Daily, our store receives a steady flow of donated items, and without help, these donations can add up quickly. Volunteers help us process these donations, prepare them to be priced, and put them out on the sales floor. Tasks typically involve hanging clothes, pairing up shoes, cutting price tags, re-arranging items on shelves, organizing books, and helping keep the sales floor "shoppable." 

Your first step as a volunteer is to apply through this link: https://www.jubileereach.org/volunteer

From there, you will be prompted to schedule a Meet and Greet to talk about volunteering with us.

We look forward to getting to know you!
