YOU CAN BE A VOLUNTEER LEADER

 

Hot Project Coordinators

Each of our Hot Projects are led by a fantastic Seattle Works volunteer, an easy but important job! Project Coordinators help recruit for the project, welcome participants, serve as the contact for the hosting organization day-of and invite project participants to an optional post-project social event (lunch, beers, your call).

Time commitment: training plus three projects over a three-month time period.

Team Works Team Captains

Team Captains are the root of cohesive teams! They set the tone for the duration of the Team Works cycle and can make or break the round. Team Captains facilitate attendance, help manage projects, lead the group in reflection and plan social events. They are essentially the team's host. For four months you'll volunteer with the same group of 15 people one Saturday per month, each time focusing on a different community issue at a different organization.

Time commitment: training, a kick-off event and four Saturday service projects, with two additional hours each month for coordination.

Seattle Works Day Team Captains

Our largest annual service event brings together 1,500 people to enhance our urban green spaces and support Seattle Works.

This event attracts groups all sorts of groups - from corporations to groups of friends, to college alumni, faith groups, political campaigns and amateur sports teams.

Time commitment: one Saturday service project, a Team Captain kick-off event and several hours of team recruitment and coordination
