Opportunities From: United Way of King County

The King County Sexual Assault Resource Center wants the community we serve to know we are continuing full operations during the COVID-19 public health emergency. This includes our 24-Hour Resource Line for help and information at 1.888.99.VOICE, as well as therapy, family education, legal advocacy and other supports for survivors and their families. All services are offered in both English and Spanish.

Survivors face enormous barriers to justice and healing under the best of circumstances. The majority of families KCSARC serves are further stressed by closures of workplaces, schools, childcare and more. They are anxious about loss of income and supports ushered in by the crisis.

As we absorb the unanticipated costs of new technology needed in order to deliver uninterrupted services, our nonprofit is also scrambling to respond to clients’ escalating needs for basics like groceries, transportation, or housing to make it possible for them to participate in therapy and engaged in their legal cases.

Over the last three years, demand for KCSARC’s services has increased 22% and has held steady. As we respond to survivors who are now facing enormous additional barriers to healing, our nonprofit’s resources are stretched thinner than ever.

We are counting on the support of community members to help us continue delivering the services and supports that survivors and vulnerable families need to heal, especially during these challenging times. 

THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH SURVIVORS DURING THIS PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY!

Catholic Community Services’ ARISE shelter is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to protect and support the homeless community in Renton. ARISE is sheltering medically fragile and elderly individuals and families experiencing homelessness in hotels in order to prevent vulnerable people from contracting COVID-19. Sheltering vulnerable individuals in hotels allows for social distancing at the main shelter. Hotels provide a safe place for clients to “stay home” in accordance with current public health and state orders. Catered and delivered meals support nutrition and allow everyone to stay inside as much as possible. Reducing the need to leave the hotel minimizes possible exposure and spread of the virus in the community. As the pandemic evolves the number of clients needing to shelter in hotels will increase. ARISE is also hiring an additional staff member to sanitize the shelter. CCS is requesting cash donations in order to ensure that clients will be able to stay in hotels and receive meals until the crisis is over. Donations will be used to pay for hotel stays, catered meals for guests, and additional staffing costs.

Approximately 45 individuals have been placed in hotels around King County to allow clients to stay inside and follow social distancing rules. A vital part of remaining healthy is having access to healthy food. CCS has partnered with Seattle Prep to make and deliver bagged lunches to hotels. Each client receives 3 lunches and 3 drinks daily. Seattle Prep volunteers are unable to deliver the meals directly to clients. Volunteers are needed to help distribute food to clients. Food distribution volunteers will meet the food delivery volunteer at the hotel during the timeslot. They will then be responsible for contacting the clients and alerting them that food has arrived.

Pike Place Market is the soul of Seattle - we are 500 local businesses, 400 senior residents, specialized social service agencies, and thousands of local workers, artists, and friends. And the Market Foundation needs YOUR help in sustaining the future of this vibrant Market community!

In this COVID-19 crisis, our staff is raising vital funds and helping community members navigate pressing needs such as Market Community Safety Net requests, unemployment filings, food access, housing referrals, and so much more.

There are 3 ways you can help the Market community in its greatest hour of need: 

1. SHOP LOCAL – Essential food business at Place Market are open and have delivery, take out and online ordering options. Flower farmers, artists and specialty shops rely on online shoppers at this time. Please be intentional on how you spend your money to help small, local businesses survive this economic crisis.

2. DONATE TO OUR MARKET COMMUNITY SAFETY NET – This fund supports individuals who live, work or access services in the Market community, are facing a sudden financial crisis and need support to regain stability. Since the COVID-19 crisis emerged 2 weeks ago, the demand has skyrocketed and we anticipate the need will overwhelm our existing system. We’ve already received more than 1,000 calls for support.

3. GIVE TO OUR SPRING HYGIENE DRIVE– Give new and unused toiletries to keep our Market community services and clients healthy in this time of need.

No matter your contribution, you can make a difference to the Market community at its greatest time of need 

The covid-19 crisis is a deafening wake-up call of the inadequacy of health care availability and access in America, and of the fiscal politization of our public health system. Health Care for All Washington has long advocated for universal access and coverage of health care. Our mission is high quality, sustainable, affordable, publicly financed, privately delivered health coverage for all Washington residents. We seek to eliminate the stark disparities in health and health care by race, ethnicity, class, gender, and citizenship status; and to expand and rebuild our public health system capable of rapid response and resiliency in the face of contagion or catastrophe.

Most of us want to make a difference, to leave the world a better place. People who have health problems, or who would be financially devastated by an illness or accident, are on the sidelines of life.  .We believe that Health Care for All Washington is making a difference, because access to health care enables admittance to life and all she has to offer:  liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”

Formed in 1994, HCFA-WA is the oldest grassroots organization in Washington that is solely dedicated to bringing about publicly funded, privately delivered universal health care. Two-thirds of its Board of Directors are healthcare professionals, providing expert guidance and insight into the development of public policy. And we have been effective. HCFA-WA was instrumental in the progression and passage of the Pathway to Universal Health Care Bill, as well as the Cascade Care Bill, in 2019. This year, HCFA-WA advanced several bills containing costs of prescription drugs and addressing the cost of insulin; the bills we incubated passed with nearly unanimous support.

We seek individuals committed to the evolution of our health care system. While we always need and welcome providers in healthcare, HCFA-WA is in need of those with backgrounds in financial analysis, budgeting, fiscal policy, legal compliance and disclosure, public relations, and communications, governance, and development.

Determine the policies and board procedures necessary to advance single-payer universal health care in Washington; strengthen the organization’s research and policy development; ensure the organization is operating at peak efficiency and in full compliance with all applicable laws and intent; expand HCFA-WA’s membership; raise funds to support the operation of HCFA-WA’s programs; and directly advocate in the public policy arena.

At SYFC we believe in enriching the children in our afterschool program through projects, crafts, field trips and other opportunities.

For this reason, we are looking for younger people, High School to College age who can assert a positive impact on their assigned students.

SIFF CINEMA LEAD USHER TEAMS 

SIFF Cinema Lead Usher Teams are comprised of volunteers who are each able to commit to one shift per week, with each shift happening around the same time on the same day of the week at either the SIFF Cinema Egyptian or the SIFF Cinema Uptown. This commitment runs from January through June and/or July through December. In exchange for their time, our Lead Usher Team members will receive a Festival Admit 1 Pass for each six-month period completed.

FAQs
- What is the time frame of the shifts?
On Monday through Friday, shifts are generally scheduled between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. On weekends, we have two shifts per day, generally scheduled between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM or between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM.

The length of these shifts is determined by the weekly programming schedule, so each shift might range from one to five hours. Because show times can vary or change, some flexibility in your schedule is preferable.

Flexibility is especially important for January to June as this team schedule occurs during the Festival.

Show times will most definitely change and vary based upon Festival programming.

- Do I have to commit for all six months?
Yes. We understand, however, if something unexpected comes up and you cannot make a shift. Please note that it is your responsibility to find a substitute for your shift. Failure to do so may result in a change of benefits and/or removal from the volunteer program.

- What if I have to miss a shift?
If you miss more than three shifts without finding a replacement, we will have to find someone else to take your place for the rest of the shifts through the end of the commitment. Those who work all their shifts (or find someone to work a shift they can’t make) will receive a Festival pass; those who aren’t able to will receive Cinema vouchers for the time that they’ve put in so far.

- When does SIFF recruit for Cinema Lead Usher Teams?
SIFF recruits to fill year-round team positions in early June for the July through December period and in early December for the January through June period. If you are interested in volunteering as a Lead Usher, please click "respond" and we will send you further application instructions.

Tiny Trees Preschool
Board of Directors Opportunity

Are you:
       • Passionate about early education and the environment?
       • Interested in serving on a non-profit board in Seattle?
Tiny Trees makes high-quality early learning accessible for working families by operating
outdoor preschool classrooms in our public parks. As the largest outdoor preschool provider in
the United States, we currently serve more than 300 children at 9 parks in Seattle and King
County. These kids gain the academic and social-emotional skills to thrive in school and life,
while reaping the benefits of a nature-rich childhood.

Tiny Trees’ commitment to equity, environmental stewardship, and high-quality early learning
is what makes it unique. Our classrooms and our stellar teachers enable children from all
backgrounds to reap the benefits of outdoor early education. Our innovative model, utilizing
public parks in the community, means that Tiny Trees can open classrooms in neighborhoods
where families have not always had access to affordable, high-quality preschool. Currently, 22%
of Tiny Trees students speak a language other than English at home and about half receive free
or reduced tuition through the Seattle Preschool Program and our philanthropic partners.

Want to help Tiny Trees Preschool grow?

We are seeking new board members who can commit to a three-year term, beginning January or
June 2020. If you are passionate about our mission and want to strengthen our organization to better
serve our community, let’s talk.

Who are we looking for?
We welcome all inquiries and are especially interested in candidates who have close connections
to families and communities of color in our region, are skilled in HR, technology, law, marketing or

     - Provide leadership and set strategic guidance and policies to ensure Tiny Trees
Preschool’s long-term sustainability and efficacy in service of our mission

     - Establish long-term goals and strategic plan, approve annual budgets, and participate in
fundraising to ensure adequate funds to support programs
     - Ensure program excellence at all Tiny Trees locations and the safety of children in Tiny
Trees’ care
     - Board members are advocates for Tiny Trees Preschool in the greater King County
community with key stakeholders, including current and prospective families, donors,
service providers and partners and governmental agencies
Commitment of Individual Tiny Trees Preschool Board Members:
     - Each member should be prepared to invest an average of 6-10 hours per month, which
typically includes: 3 hours to prepare for and attend Board meetings (11 per year, last
Tuesday of each month from 6-8:30pm), 2-4 hours for committee work (per committee),
and during certain months, members spend additional hours on special tasks, meetings,
and events, such as the annual board retreat and annual fundraising luncheon
     - Serve on at least one board committee (finance, fund development, board
development, or operational excellence)
     - Participate in the upcoming strategic planning process
     - Do at least one site visit to a Tiny Trees Preschool outdoor classroom each year
     - Attend at least one Tiny Trees Preschool community event each year
     - Participate in fund development activities, including hosting a table at the annual
luncheon
     - Make Tiny Trees Preschool a philanthropic priority and make an annual, personally
significant gift that reflects that priority.

If you are passionate about early learning, social justice and environmental stewardship, please
consider joining the Tiny Trees Board of Directors. It’s a meaningful way to ensure that all
children in King County gain the social, emotional, and academic skills needed for kindergarten
and a lifetime of success. You will benefit from being part of an active, hands-on board with
leadership and growth opportunities.

**Note: WE NEED DRIVERS THROUGHOUT KING COUNTY!! You would drive seniors who live near your home, so the address listed here is inaccurate.

Seniors need your help! Getting to the doctor’s office is a daunting task for many local seniors. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving; limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus; taxis come with prohibitive costs; and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. So who do they turn to? Fortunately, volunteer drivers can fill the gap.

Volunteer Transportation is a program of Sound Generations, a non-profit organization working to help seniors remain safely independent and connected to their communities. Every week, there are a growing number of older adults in need of transportation but not enough volunteers to do it all.  It is heartbreaking to know that for many, the only barrier to accessing medical care is just a ride.

One of the biggest barriers seniors face in accessing medical care is lack of transportation. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving, limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus, taxis come with prohibitive costs, and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. Yet, since 1975, Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation has served as a trustworthy resource for older adults throughout King County. With its force of kind and reliable volunteers, the program provides the missing link between seniors and their necessary medical care.

But the value of Volunteer Transportation extends far beyond the rides themselves. A volunteer driver serves as a friendly escort-- a companion-- someone to talk to along the way. Volunteers turn previously stressful ordeals into pleasant, meaningful experiences.

More volunteer drivers are needed throughout King County! The program is currently unable to serve all seniors in need of transportation.

You can help more seniors get “on the road” to improved health and peace of mind! If you have a reliable vehicle, a clean driving record, and some weekday availability, this is the role for you!  

NOTE: Although this post says the opportunity is based in Seattle, volunteers are needed in communities throughout King County.

Are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer your time and skills to helping the underserved community? Do you also have a passion for mentoring and supporting young adults? Vietnam Health Clinic (VHC) is currently recruiting for new board members in the Greater Seattle area and we want you to join our community of college students, healthcare professionals and motivated leaders who are looking to make a difference. No healthcare or Vietnamese affiliations needed.

VHC is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care access and services to under-resourced populations of Vietnam, while promoting proactive learning and firsthand experience in primary care for our student members. VHC hosts mobile health clinics in rural Vietnam, providing services such as medical, dental, optometry, physical therapy, pharmaceutical and public health education. With the help of student members and healthcare professionals along with our local community, sponsors and volunteers, we have been able to provide aid to over 13,000 patients over the past ten years. We have now started to expand our health services to support low-income patients in the Greater Seattle area as well, starting with a partnership with International Community Health Services (ICHS).

What’s unique about VHC is that we integrate student mentorship into the goal of our mobile health clinic, providing student members with valuable clinical experience working alongside healthcare professionals in Vietnam. Leading up to the mobile health clinic, we train students to prepare for every aspect of an international mobile health clinic - from measuring vitals, taking medical history, interpret and assist our health professionals to cultural competency. In addition, all students work to raise funds, acquire supplies, and plan logistics for the trip; allowing them to develop important skills like communication, work ethic, leadership and teamwork. Since the creation of VHC, over 350 students have volunteered with us and more than 40% have gone on to successfully pursue careers in healthcare.

VHC board members provide valuable guidance and resources to strengthen the impact that our nonprofit has on the community while helping to guide the lives of young people. We are looking for board volunteers who want a meaningful way to contribute their time and skill that is reflective of their passion and values. We encourage you to apply and learn more about our organization!

Are you looking for something fun to do... do you like to drive... do you want to make a difference and help people? Volunteer driving is an opportunity to help seniors in your community. You can control the amount of time you want to be involved. Most volunteers drive once a week, some twice a week, others every other week. We are very flexible and will work with your schedule.

Using your own vehicle, you would help older adults maintain their independence by taking them to much needed medical appointments. Clients greatly appreciate their improved access to medical care, meaningful interactions with caring volunteers, and increased peace of mind. Unfortunately, the program does not have enough drivers to meet the growing demand for transportation from King County seniors.

Our volunteer drivers do a lot more than drive! By volunteering with Sound Generations Volunteer Transportation Program, drivers not only provide needed transportation but companionship for both the senior and the volunteer.

We really need YOU! Help make a huge difference in the lives of seniors near you by becoming a volunteer driver.

For more information please click the "respond" button and we will follow up with you!  

Volunteer Transportation is a program of Sound Generations, a non-profit organization working to help seniors remain safely independent and connected to their communities. Every week, there are a growing number of older adults in need of transportation but not enough volunteers to do it all. It is heartbreaking to know that for many, the only barrier to accessing medical care is just a ride away.

Getting to the doctor’s office is a daunting task for many local seniors. Poor vision or medical conditions prevent them from driving; limited mobility makes it impossible to take the bus; taxis come with prohibitive costs; and loved ones have full-time jobs that render them unavailable to help. So who do they turn to? Fortunately, volunteer drivers can fill the gap.

Help make a huge difference in the lives of seniors near you by becoming a volunteer driver. This opportunity is extremely flexible, allowing volunteers to pick the days, times, frequency, and areas they wish to drive. Help more seniors get "on the road" to improved health and peace of mind by becoming a volunteer today!

We know that all students can succeed.  But, many students growing up in low-income communities face adversity that affects their ability to come to school every day, ready to learn.

City Year places teams of AmeriCorps members in high-need schools full-time, alongside teachers, to provide individualized academic and social emotional supports to help students thrive and to improve the school-wide learning environment.

City Year’s Seattle / King County site currently serves over 4600 students in 10 elementary and middle schools around South Seattle.

The mission of a City Year site board is to serve as a highly-engaged and deeply-committed team of volunteer leaders who tap their collective wisdom, resources, and experiences to enable City Year to achieve impact, scale, and success in their community.

First and foremost, impact. You will have an opportunity to engage and make a difference in thousands of lives across multiple generations of leaders locally and nationally: Board, staff, AmeriCorps members, students, champions, and partners. Your leadership will be a driving force in helping students stay in school and on track to graduate college - and be career ready. Second, you will have access to a broad, local and national professional network through City Year’s corporate, civic, and private partners, 28 peer site boards, and the national board of trustees. Third, you’ll have the pride of serving with an organization with strong values and a program backed by research, community support, and results. You’ll also have a lot of fun along the way!

We’re looking for leaders who want to make a difference in our communities, and are working to build a Board that is as diverse as the communities we serve.

It is important to clarify CYSKC’s site board is advisory in nature. That means although site boards play an important role in building the organization locally and nationally, they do not have formal legal authority or fiduciary responsibilities. 

We understand that City Year is one part of your life so we work to create individually sustainable engagement plans so members can easily balance professional and personal commitments. There are many ways you can impact City Year’s mission and success as a board member; however, here are three key ways we ask each board member to apply their expertise, leadership, and time:
