SEATTLE WORKS INFORMS, CONNECTS AND INSPIRES PEOPLE IN THEIR 20s AND 30s TO TAKE ACTION IN OUR COMMUNITY

 

What we do
Seattle Works offers opportunities for people to serve as active volunteers, informed voters, savvy charitable donors and knowledgeable community leaders.

Our program areas are:
Volunteer
Lead
Influence

From one-time service projects to board training to dialogues with elected officials, we're here to get you connected.

 

Why we do it
Our goal is to harness and enhance the energy, creativity and diversity of Seattle's 20- and 30-somethings to build a thriving community.

We believe that providing information, connections and inspiration creates the following results:

- People who volunteer, give, make their voices heard and step up to lead at increased rates
- People whose volunteer efforts and civic actions align with their skills, interest and values
- People who feel like a part of their community

How we do it

Seattle Works strives to ensure that programs, events and communications are:

- Accessible: with activities focused on weekends and evenings, when most people have free time
- Social: with opportunities to connect with peers and build relationships
- Timely: with frequent opportunities for people to jump in as participants
- Spirited: with a sense of humor and innovation
- Flexible: with varied amounts of time and experience required
- Holistic: with a focus on the value and interconnectedness of volunteering, influencing, leading and investing
