Volunteers are free to bring in their own face masks or other PPE, and we can provide gloves and disposable face masks on-site.

Upon arriving to each shift, your Volunteer Supervisor or other staff will ask you questions listed on the ROOTS COVID-19 screening guide and will take your temperature. Staff and guests are screened in the same way upon entering the space. We appreciate your understanding in this process.

We are seeking a volunteer with skills in camera operations and video editing software like Adobe premiere and graphic design skills with proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to share with kids on our after school program.

We are hoping that this individual will be able to help run part of our after school programs by teaching kids (ages 9 to 15) basic camera operation techniques, video editing and graphic design techniques. Based on the individual's availability, we hope to schedule this program once or twice a week running between 2 to 3 hours on each day.

This is a unique opportunity to learn about other cultures (West African) and also get to partake in the greater diversity that makes Washington state so great. Most importantly, the individual would get to have the rewarding experience of contributing meaningfully in building our collectively community by helping teaching kids crucial life-skills.

This program is also geared towards better preparing the youth of our community for the future. Unlike the After School Program, this program assists young adults between the ages 13 to 19 with mentoring, coaching and acquisition of critical life skills that would make them better prepared for the job market and or independent entrepreneurs. This program shall equally support our aim to keep young people off the streets to reduce the risk of deviance, indulgence in drugs and crime.

Most importantly, the individual would get to have the rewarding experience of contributing meaningfully in building our collectively community by helping teaching kids crucial life-skills.

This program is also geared towards better preparing the youth of our community for the future. Unlike the After School Program, this program assists young adults between the ages 13 to 19 with mentoring, coaching and acquisition of critical life skills that would make them better prepared for the job market and or independent entrepreneurs. This program shall equally support our aim to keep young people off the streets to reduce the risk of deviance, indulgence in drugs and crime.

Volunteer: Seattle Neighborhood Greenways board

Seattle 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. Board members serve 2-year terms aligned with the calendar year. There are no term limits and board members receive no compensation.  Nonprofit Directors & Officers Liability insurance are provided to all Board members.  

Officers are elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual meeting, or as necessary if an officer does not serve their full term. The Board has a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer as defined in the bylaws.

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.  For more see https://seattlegreenways.org/get-involved/advocate/

In order to reduce stress in the families we serve, we are asking for gift-card donations redeemable for food and necessities. Our suggested donation is a $25 gift card (or cards) to stores such as Target, Walmart, and Safeway. These cards can be purchased online and sent directly to The West African Community Council at 6322 44th Ave S. Seattle, WA 98118 where they will be distributed to those who need it most.

Volunteer: Write Thoughtful Letters to Those Feeling Isolated

With COVID cases on the rise again, many people in long-term care facilities, such as hospitals and senior homes are in dire need of human connection and compassion. Plus One Foundation wants YOUR help to connect with these folks and let them know they're cared for.

Due to the pandemic, many individuals with chronic illnesses have been unable to leave their house, leading to greater levels of loneliness and isolation.

So far, we have sent over 1,900 letters, and we'd love to send more with your help!

How it works:
The process is simple: you sign up here, and we will send you an email to organize and match you to as many pen pals as you'd like to send letters to. Volunteer hours available for this opportunity upon request.

We are expecting volunteers to send at least two letters every month, but you can feel free to contact your pen pal(s) more often if you'd like! Please note that pen pals are under no obligation to write back, although some may definitely love to-- in case you would specifically like your penpal to respond, let us know and we are happy to coordinate that.


Sign up today and spread love to those who need it most.

We provide basic needs supplies (e.g. soap & hygiene supplies, toilet paper, cleaning supplies) so that residents can focus on their goals such as finding stable employment, continuing their education, spending time with their kids and addressing health care needs.

Volunteer: Donate Food Gift Cards to Low-Income Families in Need!

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several of our service delivery areas have been affected. Our primary service area that has been affected is community meals at our properties. Depending on the property, we have community meals hosted weekly, bi-weekly or monthly at eight of our communities. This meal is vital for many of our families, and we serve food for 30-40 individuals per meal per property. With the outbreak, many of our case managers have had to cancel community meals at our properties, impacting over 500 residents.

Currently, we are asking folks to donate Fred Meyer, QFC, Walmart, or Target e-gifts cards in amounts between $25-$100 that can be distributed to individuals and families living at our affordable communities.

We will be distributing these resources with grocery store delivery resources to respect those who are practicing social distancing or are self-quarantining, especially our senior communities who are high-risk.
