Volunteer: Looking to fill non-voting leadership team roles

There are several positions within our leadership team that will be supportive to our board and instrumental in the operation of our nonprofit moving forward. These positions do not have the same level of commitment as our voting board members do, but definitely help the function of our organization! These positions include (but are not limited) to the following:

 

Chapter Membership Chair  Many chapters appoint a membership chair whose duties include tracking the membership of the chapter, welcoming new members and encouraging existing members to renew their membership. For many of TU’s fastest growing chapters, the membership chair has taken on a more proactive role of developing and implementing a new member recruitment plan and engaging current members often by being the friendly and familiar face of the leadership at chapter events. The membership chair performs the key role in helping current members resolve membership issues, maintain member’s contact information, and communicates changes or issues with member records with TU national staff. The membership chair also tracks membership numbers within the chapter (using the roster and membership reports found within the Leaders Only Tools), welcomes new members who join, and follows up with members who have not renewed. Beyond tracking these statistics, the membership chair takes the lead on programs to recruit new members. Chapter Meeting Coordinator  This leadership position will help coordinate monthly events / meetings and act as a point person between President, Secretary, and Media Relations chair. Duties in this position include reaching out to potential guest speakers to help schedule presentations and coordinate with venues for monthly chapter events. Often this information needs to be shared to both Secretary and Media Relations chair in order to send out newsletters and update social media with calendar events as plans are solidified. This person will also help setup for these meetings and breakdown after

Volunteer: A CASTING CALL FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS

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.

Preschool’s long-term sustainability and efficacy in service of our mission

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
     - 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.

consider joining the Tiny Trees Board of Directors. It’s a meaningful way to ensure that all

and a lifetime of success. You will benefit from being part of an active, hands-on board with

Volunteer: AUBURN, Give rides to change lives, drive a senior in need!

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.

Volunteer: Take Your Compassion to the Road! Drive Seniors In Need

Volunteers needed to drive older adults to their medical appointments

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.

Volunteer: Provide Childcare on Monday evenings in Renton

Vision House is a Christian social service agency based near Seattle, Washington. Since 1990, Vision House has provided housing, support services and child care for homeless families with children.

Volunteers will spend time with Vision House resident children - playing games, reading books, doing crafts. All activities will be planned in advance so volunteers will show up each week and have fun. These activities may seem simple, but without individuals to care for and spend time with the children, then the parents cannot attend crucial life skills training classes.

Vision House is a Christian organization. We ask that, even if you do not share our beliefs, you respect them. While we do not have any mandatory spiritual activities for our residents, we do ask volunteers working in direct contact with residents to sign our statement of faith.

Volunteers must also fill out all necessary paperwork and attend training/orientation with the volunteer coordinator and child advocate. CPR/First aid training is a plus. The minimum age for this opportunity is 16 years and older.

Volunteer: Enumclaw, Do You Want to Make a Difference in the Lives of Seniors?

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.

Volunteer: Federal Way Volunteer Drivers in Demand

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!

Volunteer: City Year Seattle / King County is growing its Board!

City Year believes in the power of young people.

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.

 

What is the mission of City Year’s Site Board?

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.

 

What makes the City Year Seattle / King County Board an attractive opportunity?

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!

 

What are the core roles of a City Year Site Board member?

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:

Personal Connection: Develop an understanding of the mission, vision, strategies, and impact of City Year, both nationally and locally. You will receive onboarding support and any materials or experiences you need to build and strengthen this bond. Engagement: Prepare and engage in site board meetings (every-other-month) to provide input on site strategy, plans, and challenges. Actively participate in key CYSKC events throughout the year. Advocacy & Fundraising: Prioritize City Year as one of you top three philanthropic investments. Be bold and proud in advocating for City Year within your personal and professional networks and with prospective champions and partners (staff provides all supporting coaching, messaging and materials).

Volunteer: Donation Bin Ambassador

For more than 60 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been making a difference in the lives of youth facing adversity throughout King and Pierce counties. Volunteer mentors have been the foundation of much of the work we do, yet we recognize that many talented and driven individuals aren’t able to make the ongoing commitment mentoring requires.

The role of Donation Bin Ambassador requires less time and energy, but still contributes to a brighter future for our kids. To help fund mentoring programs, our donation center collects and resells clothing, shoes, and other household items. Each bin raises an average of $5500 per year, which goes to directly impacting the work we do and supporting local youth. As we grow to serve more kids, we need to add bins throughout King and Pierce counties.

If you believe your workplace or community group would be willing to host a Big Brothers Big Sisters donation bin, we’d love to know! As a Donation Bin Ambassador, you would be responsible for promoting the program to your coworkers and community, as well as informing Big Brothers Big Sisters when the bin is full so we can schedule pick up. The time commitment is limited, but you can make a major impact!
