SUMMARY:Help United Way Get Ready for the Free Tax Prep Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, United Way volunteers help thousands of low-income people prepare their taxes.

We know it works\, and with your help we can continue to serve more people each year. \nHelp UWKC sort and bundle outreach and informational materials for the Free Tax Campaign. \n  \nThis opportunity is open to young professionals as part of our Emerging Leaders 365 program.

SUMMARY:Cook with FareStart to Support Financial Stability
DESCRIPTION:Are you a seasoned chef? Pride yourself on that amazing homemade pho? Or are you that person in the kitchen that can 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 Emerging Leaders 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 open to young professionals part of our Emerging Leaders 365 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.
