SCF Volunteers are the reason we are able to make the impact we do to seniors across the nation. Volunteers write cards that make seniors excited about their day! Senior Care First runs solely because of the support we receive from our volunteers.

At Senior Care First, we believe that any sized effort to make a difference is a difference nonetheless. Making cards for seniors have such a huge impact on their days. Volunteers like YOU help them feel a little less alone each day. This effort started with small motivational cards for senior citizens to help them get through this day, and has grown to include seasonal cards for the holidays.

Writing cards for seniors is not only to put lighten up the days of seniors but also to let them know there is a support system outside of their homes filled with loving young members of their community. There is no specific way to make the cards since YOU, the volunteer, have creative liberty. However, we encourage volunteers to use bright colors and inspiring messages to share love for the seniors. We have heard several positive messages from senior homes after receiving cards from SCF. From writing general motivational and inspiring cards to holiday related cards, we give them all.

Board of Directors – Eastside Legal Assistance Program (Bellevue, Washington) (ELAP)

Overview of ELAP

ELAP is a nonprofit dedicated to working with people facing domestic violence, housing, financial, healthcare, immigration, and other issues who need a legal solution. ELAP believes that everyone deserves access to legal help. An experience with domestic violence, an unexpected medical bill, unfair eviction, or other life challenge can set people back financially, physically, and psychologically. Yet people often don’t know how to exercise their legal rights. Legal aid is a tool that can prevent poverty and injustice. Our staff and volunteer lawyers work for free with people facing domestic violence, housing, financial, healthcare, and other problems that need a legal solution.

Role Description

ELAP is seeking applicants to serve on our board of directors. We are a financially stable 501(c)(3) in our 35th year of operation. The ELAP Board works to provide strategic governance for the organization. All Board members serve on a Board committee through which they provide more tactical support of ELAP’s mission, including supporting development efforts, implementing organizational policies, and program development and implementation.

Role Qualifications

We acknowledge that board service is a privilege often limited to individuals who are socially advantaged, based on their gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or race. While we value past board experience, we also value a board composition that reflects the clients that ELAP serves and brings specific skill sets or professional expertise to ELAPs work. If you are passionate about our work, interested in investing your time and experience in our organization, and value growth and learning, we encourage all applications, regardless of previous experience.

We are seeking applicants who complement and expand the skills, professional backgrounds, and lived experiences of our existing board members. While finance, public health, marketing, development, and HR expertise are our primary needs currently, we encourage all individuals from traditionally underserved populations to apply.

Service Specifics

Board members commit to the following terms:

Volunteer for a 3-year term with the possibility of renewal.

Regularly attend board meetings which happen up to 8 times a year (via Zoom with 2 – 3 in- person meetings each calendar year)

Serve on and/or chair at least one committee (ex. Governance, Development, Board Recruitment, Attorney Volunteer, Finance).

Assist with fundraising, including sponsorships, ticket sales to annual Breakfast for Justice Fundraiser, and serving as table Captain at Breakfast for Justice (filling at least one table with guests).

Volunteer to:

Neighborcare Health's governing Board of Directors volunteer their time to set and oversee the policies, strategies, and performance of the organization. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), the majority of Neighborcare Health’s governing board members must be patients who use our services. This is incredibly important, as board members set the course for our future, and patient board members ensure that the patient perspective is front and center.

About Neighborcare Health

At Neighborcare Health, we believe everyone deserves a place to call their health care home, where a team of medical, dental and mental health professionals work in collaboration with each patient to develop a personal health improvement plan.

We are one of the largest providers of primary medical, dental and behavioral health care services in the Seattle area serving low-income and uninsured families and individuals, seniors on fixed incomes, immigrants, and people experiencing homelessness. Each year we care for nearly 60,000 patients at our nearly 30 non-profit medical, dental and school-based clinics. We ask everyone to pay what they can, but no one is turned away due to inability to pay. 

Our clinics are located in neighborhoods where health disparities are the greatest, and our care teams, who speak over 55 languages and dialects, are as diverse as our patients.

No matter who you are, or where you come from, regardless of your insurance, income or immigration status, you are welcome at Neighborcare Health.

Neighborcare Health is one of Seattle’s largest community health system, or Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Our focus is to provide care for low-income and uninsured individuals and families. For 55 years, Neighborcare Health has served people in Seattle and King County’s who face barriers to health care, ensuring a healthy and safe city for all.

Today Neighborcare Health serves 60,000 people per year, who access care through almost 30 medical, dental, and school based sites as well as programs in homeless shelters, on the streets, and in supportive housing.

Neighborcare Health has been steadily increasing its philanthropic presence, and continued fundraising success is necessary to grow services for the quarter million low-income people not yet served by a health center in King County.

Additionally, potential changes in federal policy may threaten Neighborcare Health’s ability to maintain current levels of service. In this worst-case scenario, we are confident the community will stand up to support our work and our neighbors. But we know we must increase our fundraising capacity to match the need.

While most non-profit boards are recruited for fundraising capacity, Neighborcare Health’s board is required to have 51% or greater consumer representation. While this provides authentic patient experience, it also results in a board not optimally suited to fundraise.

To strengthen our relationship to the philanthropic and business communities, Neighborcare Health is considering creating a 509 support organization, the Neighborcare Health Foundation.

THE NEIGHBORCARE HEALTH FOUNDATION

Purpose: Work closely with Neighborcare board, leaders, and staff, to ensure Neighborcare Health has adequate financial resources to fulfill its mission.

Commitment: Three-year terms with option to renew. The committee will meet 8 times per year (2nd Wednesday from 9 am – 11 am at Pacific Tower).   Board members can expect to devote from 2-4 hours/month to board business.

Membership: 10-13 Board Members to grow fundraising with an emphasis on major and corporate gifts.

Expectations: Volunteer Board Members will help champion Neighborcare Health by initiating and cultivating relationships with donors and potential donors and will advise staff on development strategy. Members are expected to:

Background: The Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden connects the community to nature through a diverse and beautiful collection of historical gardens. It is an 11-acre public garden in SeaTac, WA. The Garden honors its location, memorializing the horticultural legacies of longtime Burien resident, Elda Behm and of the Seike family, who operated a nursery with an outstanding Japanese garden in Des Moines. It also embraces other notable local horticultural efforts and groups, through partnerships with local associations, such as the King County Iris Society, the Puget Sound Daylily Society, the Seattle Rose Society, the Species Fuchsia Society, and the Puget Sound Fuchsia Society. The Garden is a community asset that welcomes all visitors and provides a refuge for appreciation of nature’s beauty. Some of the ways the community engages with the Garden include quinceañeras, wedding and graduation photo ops, picnics, weddings, tours, inspiration for gardening, gardening workshops, exercise classes, and simply exploring. The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that develops and manages the Garden and Garden-related programs. The Garden was created and is operated by the Foundation in cooperation with the City of SeaTac and the Port of Seattle.

Role of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors meets monthly to consider issues related to maintaining and developing the Garden. Board members contribute their ideas for addressing these issues and for creating programs to make the Garden more accessible to the community and to involve the community more with the Garden’s affairs. The Foundation publishes a quarterly newsletter that is produced by the Board. Board members manage development projects, they raise funds, they advise on the design of new areas of the Garden, and on the contents of the Foundation’s website and social media posts. They plan and execute special events in the Garden like the Ice Cream Social and Plant Sale. The Board manages the Foundations funds. The Foundation has both an Executive Director and a person who coordinates and manages rental and volunteer events at the Garden, both part-time, but a great deal of the work of the Foundation is done by the Board members.

Time Commitment: The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation Board meets once a month on the first Wednesday at the North SeaTac Park Community Center. Each Board member is expected to take part in some of the various activities of the board: planning and executing events at the Garden, producing the newsletter, contributing design and development ideas, fundraising, and any of the many tasks that need doing to keep the Garden a vibrant community asset. However no Board member is expected to help with everything. We each have our interests and abilities and work best within those parameters. The Board’s unpaid officers contribute the most time to the organization, ranging from the President, which at present could easily be a full time job, through the Treasurer, easily a part-time job managing the small payroll, keeping the books, and managing the budget; the Secretary, who records the proceedings of the Board’s meetings and organizes the digital files and paper files that document the Board’s activities; and the Vice President, who at present is the lead on event planning and execution. As they say, many hands make light work, and it is our expectation that as the Board grows, the time burden on any one member, including the officers, will be at least somewhat reduced.

Funding Commitment: All Board members are asked to support the Foundation financially by becoming paid members and are encouraged to support the Foundation’s work financially. However, we recognize that not every Board member is able not to make a major financial contribution to the Garden, and that contributions of time add precious value to our work. 

Satisfaction: Every Board member of the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation shares the joy of watching the Garden grow, bringing beauty to an area that has needed a place of respite for a long time, and reminding visitors the ordinary people can do extraordinary things with plants. We’re located in a SeaTac neighborhood with families who have come to love the North SeaTac Park and the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden. We are happy that you have expressed an interest in the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SPSC BOARD AS A WHOLE

Seattle Pro Musica, the Northwest's premier volunteer choir, exists to enrich and inspire our audiences, singers, and community through the experience of choral artistry, and to increase access to and appreciation of choral music.

We believe in the power of voices joined in harmony to improve the lives of our audiences, our singers, and the community at large. We also believe in making the beauty of choral music available to as many people as possible. Though our members come from all walks of life and span generations, we are united by our desire to make beautiful music together and share it with the world.

Seattle Pro Musica is made up of four performing groups:

The 80-voice Seattle Pro Musica choir

Vox, our mixed-voices chamber ensemble

Chroma, our select ensemble for sopranos and altos

Orpheon, our select ensemble for tenors and basses

Throughout our 50-year history, we’ve been recognized for the caliber of our programming and performances. We’ve received the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and we were ranked as “among America’s very best choirs” by American Record Guide. Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Karen P. Thomas, we’ve received international acclaim for our CD recordings and live performances. Choir and Organ writes, “Seattle Pro Musica presents a cappella singing at its best,” and Fanfare Record says, “This is truly an extraordinary choir.”

We’ve also appeared by invitation at numerous international and national festivals, and we’ve been fortunate enough to perform with artists like Jane Eaglen, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, Pacific MusicWorks, and Seattle Symphony. Members of Seattle Pro Musica have also appeared on GRAMMY Award- winning and GRAMMY-nominated albums by Ricky Kej and Wouter Kellerman. Most importantly, Seattle Pro Musica is beloved by a community of listeners and supporters who make everything we do possible.

Everyone deserves equal access to a full and vibrant creative life, and this access is essential to a free and healthy society. To support the creative life of our community, Seattle Pro Musica commits to policies and practices of cultural equity that foster equal access, inclusion, and justice.

We recognize cultural equity as a framework of values, policies, and practices that ensures arts institutions serve the needs of all people, especially those who have historically been underserved based on race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, or religion.

As we pursue our artistic mission, we will hold ourselves accountable to cultural equity. By acknowledging and challenging inequities, both as an individual arts organization and in partnership with others, we can and will make change happen.

Must have a passion for the performing arts and their role in civic life.

Must wish to serve a smaller but growing organization.

Must be committed to cultural equity.

Must go beyond volunteering time and energy to providing strategic leadership for future growth.

Especially seeking BIPOC members of the community who will make our board a truer reflection of the racial diversity of Seattle.

Especially seeking professionals in the fields of DEI, finance/accounting, law, philanthropy, grantwriting, fundraising, and change management.

Seattle Pro Musica is a highly regarded organization poised to grow with respect to its influence on the Pacific Northwest performing arts scene and in the world of choral performance at the national and international levels. We’re looking for energetic individuals from outside our traditional circles who share our passion for our mission and want to move our board from an organizing board dominated by ensemble members to a governing or even institutional board of community members who can focus on long-range strategic planning and fundraising in support of our mission.
