SUMMARY:Connect for Good: Helping Students Graduate
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual multi-session immersive volunteer experience where you will get to deep dive into our Bridge to Finish program\, learn how to leverage your networks to fundraise\, and put together a sweet house warming gift for newly-housed students. \nWe need people who can commit to two (2) education days during November 2020. Meetings will be held virtually for 1.5 hours in the evening.  Sign up via the button below the description! \n  \nA bit about Bridge to Finish: Education can be a pathway out of poverty\, and community colleges offer an affordable way for low-income students to complete their education. In fact\, in King County\, more than half of students enrolled are low-income. However\, access is only part of the challenge\, and fewer than half of the students enrolled will earn their credential due to financial barriers. Bridge to Finish is changing completion rates by providing coordinated services and supports to students today so that they can stay in school\, and influencing systems change for a more equitable experience for future generations of students. The largest barriers these college students face are food and housing due to systemic and institutional racism and those affected are predominantly BIPOC students. \n  \nSession 1: Monday\, 11/9 \n5:30 p.m.–7 p.m. \nZoom call \n  \n11/9- 11/16         Volunteering (fundraising and housewarming gift assembly) \n  \nSession 2: Monday\, 11/16 \n5:30 p.m.–7 p.m. \nZoom call \n  \nOptional: Wednesday\, 11/18 \n6 p.m. – 7 p.m. \nVirtual Community Cocktail @ Jerk Shack \nFundraise $365 and start your year of impact as an Emerging Leader 365 donor. As a thank you\, we’ll give the first 5 people to raise $365 a free ticket code to our Virtual Community Cocktail event we are doing with Jerk Shack! \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Volunteer Challenge: Support With The Census
DESCRIPTION:The Census deadline is fast approaching – and was recently shortened by one month from the end of October to the end of September. Time is running out\, and this is our last chance to get as many people as possible to respond to the 2020 Census! During the month of September\, grab some friends and help United Way of King County with our final push to make sure that everyone who calls Washington home is represented in this important survey! In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic\, it’s clear how crucial it is that we are all counted. \nImportant things to note about the Census: \n\nIt determines how many representatives Washington state will have in Congress\nIt dictates how funding is distributed for real things that affect our lives\, like the number of teachers in our schools\, the need for affordable housing in our community and the number of nurses and beds in our hospitals\nIt determines the availability of benefits\, like food stamps!\nIt’s really really important – and fast! – to complete. Just go online to www.2020census.gov\nCensus data is protected by VERY strong confidentiality laws\, the data is never shared\, and there is no citizenship question.\n\n  \nHelp us spread the word to our neighbors in King County to fill out the Census before the deadline! \nBy signing up for this project you are agreeing to help with Census outreach in one or more of these ways: \n\nSocial Media Campaign: Use your social media to urge your community to fill out the Census.\nNeighborhood Outreach: Promote the Census on foot in the neighborhood where you live or work. Distribute flyers and outreach materials provided by United Way to local businesses\, bulletin boards\, etc.\n\n  \nJoin us virtually on September 2nd from 5:30-6:30 PM to kick off the project and learn more about the importance of the Census. \nDidn’t make the call? No worries! You can watch the recording here at any time and get all the info you need. \nThis opportunity is for young professionals as part of the Emerging Leaders 365 program.

SUMMARY:Monthly Volunteer Challenge: Create thank you cards for essential workers
DESCRIPTION:For the past several months during COVID-19\, most of us have been staying home to slow the spread of the virus. However\, essential workers have still been showing up for work each day to provide necessary services for our community. Food bank staff\, shelter employees\, and United Way’s own team of AmeriCorps have been working hard to connect our neighbors with resources. Thank you for joining United Way of King County in writing letters of additional thanks and appreciation for our AmeriCorps and nonprofit staff who are working tirelessly every day to support and elevate our community. \nBy signing up for this project\, you are agreeing to write thank you notes to 5 AmeriCorps  and/or essential nonprofits such as food banks and shelters. Depending on which recipients you are assigned\, the thank you notes will either be hand-written (and you’ll need to provide cards\, envelopes\, and stamps) or virtual (emails or e-cards for AmeriCorps that are working remotely).  \nJoin us virtually on August 5 from 5:30pm-6:30PM to kick off the project learn more. \nWatch the kick off video and instructions here: https://youtu.be/zjyVwvCzsus \nThis opportunity is for young professionals as part of the Emerging Leaders 365 program.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Hone those cooking skills preparing a meal at FareStart
DESCRIPTION:Are you a seasoned chef? Pride yourself on that amazing homemade pho? Or are you the one who can you barely tell which end of the knife is which? \nNo matter which of those questions you answered “yes” to\, we still want you to come prepare a meal with other young professionals in the FareStart Community Meals kitchen! FareStart is an amazing (and delicious) partner of United Way’s – but this time\, instead of them bringing food to us\, we’re bringing helping hands to them. \nPoverty is a perpetual cycle—especially for people who are homeless\, in recovery\, or previously incarcerated. Dealing with these conditions makes finding and keeping a job a huge struggle. FareStart helps people overcome the barriers to employment by developing the work and life skills they need to have lifelong careers. In turn\, their amazing talent and hard work fuels the organization’s social enterprise restaurants\, cafes\, catering and community meals programs. \n  \nThis opportunity is for young professionals as part of the Emerging Leaders 365 program.
