SUMMARY:Help United Way Prep for the Family Resource Exchange
DESCRIPTION:United Way’s Family Resource Exchange events lessen the heavy burden of homelessness by connecting families to housing and providing other specific resources families need. Services include financial support programs and public benefits for families\, child care resources\, on-the-spot job interviews\, haircuts\, new shoes and a food bank. This is an opportunity for families to come to a single location and receive multiple services in one place. \nEmerging Leaders will help prepare important supplies for the upcoming Family Resource Exchange.

It is a big haul from the United Way team to get everything ready and set-up for the event\, which is why we need the support of volunteers to prep everything. Tasks will include (1) consolidating and organizing giveaways into boxes of like-items\, (2) assembling and organizing event signage\, (3) organizing supplies by event area\, (4) creating giveaway bags for service providers\, (5) moving supplies for easy load-out. \nThis opportunity is open to young professionals as part of our Emerging Leaders program.

SUMMARY:Work with ELL Students at Vietnamese Friendship Association
DESCRIPTION:Refugee and immigrant youth experience tremendous barriers to success and self-sufficiency. These youth are usually one or more years behind their native English-speaking peers\, which negatively impacts their self-esteem and learning outcomes. Vietnamese Friendship Association works to mitigate these disparities by providing an after school program\, Saturday English School and Summer Science Academy for youth at Seattle World School. Students who have participated in VFA’s academic programs have made strong academic gains. Over 85% of students have increased their math and English scores by the equivalent of half a grade level—as measured by standardized tests. \nEmerging Leaders will help at Vietnamese Friendship Association’s Saturday English School. Volunteers will provide one on one support for students and work in groups with the parent class. \nThis opportunity is open to young professionals  as part of our Emerging Leaders 365 program.

SUMMARY:Help Kids Access Healthy Food this Summer
DESCRIPTION:United Way of King County’s Fuel Your Future work aims to connect kids to nutritious food—during the school year and beyond. We know that summer time can put an added strain on low-income families whose kids receive free and reduced-price lunches during the school year. To help ease the burden—and bring nutritious options to families near their homes—we provide meals and fun learning activities at more than 250 sites throughout King County each summer. \nHelp prep materials and kits that will be used at Summer Meals sites around King County. Your help will make sure volunteers who work at the sites have everything they need and kids have access to healthy food this summer!

SUMMARY:Connect for Good - Fighting Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Take your volunteering and community engagement up a notch with our Connect for Good opportunities. \nDo you have questions about why people are homeless? What our community is doing about the issue? What’s working\, what’s already been tried and what isn’t working? Our next Connect for Good opportunity will give you the chance to get answers to all those questions (and more) so that you can understand contributing factors as well as solutions that are moving people safely into permanent homes. \nOver three weeks (and just three sessions) you’ll learn a ton about the issue of homelessness in King County—including contributing factors and solutions that are working. We’ll also cover how to engage your networks in the fight to end homelessness and then volunteer as a group at the Community Resource Exchange where you’ll get to directly help people experiencing homelessness. \nSessions will be held on Feb. 20\, 27 and March 13. Sign up now. \n
