“It was an opportunity to interact with people at the same stage I was in and it helped me have a greater understanding that I’m not alone. And I don’t feel alone anymore.”

-ESML Program Participant

Join our team and make a difference in the lives of participants!

Our Early Stage Memory Loss(ESML) Support Groups provide an invaluable network that people with memory loss can turn to for advice and encouragement to help them feel socially connected and give them a sense of belonging and purpose. Support Group Facilitators create a space for that important interaction by encouraging conversation and maintaining a positive and caring environment.

Our volunteers continuously learn and grow alongside the participants while serving a population in need of great support. “When I began leading the ESML program, I realized that I did carry a stigma based on a fear of not knowing how to interact with people with memory loss and what to expect from them,” said Melinda an ESML Walk Volunteer. “The greatest thing I’ve learned is that people with memory loss are just people. And even though they have memory loss—they’re here. They may not be able to respond to you the way people without memory loss respond, but when they give you a hug, grab your hand, look you in the eye—they’re here.”

Our Chapter's volunteers receive excellent training, ongoing support, resources, and continuing education opportunities.

Individuals who are often best qualified as support group facilitators include: working or retired social workers, nurse and other healthcare professionals, educators, clergy, counselors, and former family caregivers. Commitment of at least one year is required

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

fundraising to ensure adequate funds to support programs

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

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

**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.

You’re invited! We are currently welcoming new members to join our team of business and community volunteers to deliver the compelling CHOICES workshop in middle schools in your community.
 
What is CHOICES?

CHOICES is an interactive decision-making workshop that focuses on keeping teens in school, motivating them toward their education and future, and introducing them to practical life skills, such as time management, money management, goal setting and self discipline to help them succeed.  Volunteers take students through interactive real-world exercises about the consequences of dropping out and the opportunities gained by staying in school. Started by a Seattle dad in 1984 to break through to his son, we have since served 6 million teens across the nation.
 

Techbridge Girls is an award-winning nonprofit that provides free after-school STEM education to girls in the South Seattle area.

Photo Booth volunteers provide our guests with a tangible memory of their time here at ACM - a photo of their party in a 1923 Buick. This is a free featured offered to all our guests. Volunteers in this area assist guests in and out of the car, take their picture, provide a physical copy, and offer to email a copy to the guest. Most importantly though, they provide extra information on the car and encourage guests to get silly and create the most memorable picture that they can. Photo Booth volunteers

Volunteers in our Speed Zone help visitors to experience the thrill of high speed driving…without the speeding tickets. Speed Zone volunteers guide visitors on the use of our state of the art racing simulators.

The Speed Zone is a great place for volunteers interested in technology, racing, and hands-on activities!

Events volunteers assist with the 500+ events held at ACM each year, including parties, weddings, proms, organization meetings, celebrations of life, and more. The assistance needed varies depending on the event but the most common roles involve greeting, checking in, and directing guests to their event space as well as monitoring the event space and galleries. Events occur at just about any time, though the majority of events are held in the events and over the weekends. This is a great option for volunteers with 9-5pm work weeks!

Collections Monitors help to keep our collection safe and our visitors informed and entertained. They typically roam the museum, chatting with guests, answering questions, and sharing stories or other tidbits of information. They also keep an eye on the vehicles in the collection, gently reminding visitors not to cross the exhibit barriers or touch the cars they see on display. Collection Monitors are the face of ACM!

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!

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

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:
