Because of structural and systemic racism, we must face these root causes and racist systems that created these disparities head on.

Vaccine Policy
In support of a safe work environment and to supplement our existing communicable disease policy, United Way of King County requires all staff members to receive a COVID-19 vaccination unless a reasonable accommodation is granted for health or religious reasons.
We are an equal employment opportunity employer
All qualified applications will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Research shows that women and members of structurally marginalized groups often only apply if they have met all of the qualifications of the job, but in our experience, no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. United Way encourages you to apply if you’re interested! We look forward to your application.
