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*:  

*No Experience Required, but we welcome volunteers with background and experience to apply!

We’re on the hunt for a Dishwasher Volunteer!

Only 2 hours a day—you pick the day! You’ll:

– Help the team behind the scenes

– Earn a delicious Chef Corday meal

– Enjoy good company or quiet time.

This small task has a HUGE ripple effect.

Ready to jump in? We’d love your help.

If you'd truly like to help animals by ensuring access to clean dishes, laundry, and other items, become a Shelter Helper!

This "hands on" work provides the foundation for smooth operations at the shelter. You would be washing dishes, doing the laundry, and cleaning cat carriers.

It's a terrific workout too!

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. 

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 thorough training, 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 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. We look 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 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, 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.

. 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 "blue" and "red" Dog Walkers at this time.

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.

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. 

We hope to hear from you.

We believe in the dignity and value of every individual, seeing beyond the circumstances to the human being within, our approach to harm reduction is rooted in compassion and practical support especially in critical areas like Naloxone Access and Needle Exchange. Understanding the complexities of substance use we strive to provide life-preserving resources and services that respect the autonomy and choices of those we serve. Our Volunteers will play a vital role in the preparation, packaging, and distribution of outreach items and care packages to help our community. The work may also require lifting between 30 to 50 pounds of donated items, so volunteers should be physically capable of handling these weights. Additionally, to ensure safety, volunteers are required to wear closed-toe shoes while performing their duties. Can only accommodate groups of up to 5 people. https://signup.com/go/eqjbECA

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! Invest in Youth is looking for role-model tutors to work one-on-one with elementary students at local schools, including Roxhill Elementary and Sanislo Elementary (both in West Seattle) and Thurgood Marshall Elementary (Squire Park Neighborhood) in addition to Beacon Hill International.

Tutoring begins in October, runs through May and takes place once every week at each school.

Each tutor is matched with the same student for the whole school year, and the pair works together on things like playing math games, reading stories or working on homework, for one hour each week. Educational materials and activities, training and support, and heartfelt appreciation are provided at every session. 

For more information or to apply to be a tutor, please visit our website: https://www.investinyouth.org/volunteer/

Can't commit to the full school year? Become a substitute tutor or share this with your friends who might be interested.

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.
