Do More With Seattle Works!
Seattle Works is happy to help nonprofits, schools, community groups, religious, civic, and government organizations find volunteers for their events and activities. We are unable to send volunteers to events managed by for-profit companies.
Board Training and Matching
The Bridge: Board Training is a one day event designed to demystify board service by providing participants with the tools and knowledge to be an effective board member. Invite your board to attend, or work with us to recruit new board members from our great group of Bridge: Board Training graduates!
Post your board openings for us to share with our trained Bridge grads. $25 for 4 months. If you have a board opening you'd like us to include on the postings page, we'll first need to give you access to our new volunteer management portal. Choose the option below that describes your organization:
- If you already have access to the Partner Portal, log-in to your account using the log-in button at the top right of your screen and submit your volunteer opportunity!
- If your organization has partnered with Seattle Works before, please email volunteer@seattleworks.org to gain access to our volunteer management portal.
- If your organization has never partnered with Seattle Works to recruit and manage volunteers, please complete this form to create an account.
BOARD NETWORKING HAPPY HOUR
Once a year Seattle Works, Leadership Tomorrow, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, ArtsFund, and United Way of King County present Board Networking Happy Hour! Each year, our programs train hundreds of individuals in the essentials of nonprofit and public board service. We can help your organization connect with these talented, enthusiastic volunteers and spread the word about your current board openings. Registration will open in Fall 2019. Invited organizations will be asked to pay a $25 registration fee.

Corporate Partnerships
We help connect companies who want to make a difference with nonprofits that want to complete big projects! Materials used in Corporate Partnership projects are paid for by the company, so not only is there a grant of person-power to help get things done, but also a grant of materials. Let Liz know what projects you are dreaming of so she can make a partner match! Email us.
