SUMMARY:Emerging Leaders MLK Day opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Join United Way of King County Emerging Leaders in honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in partnership with the Accelerator YMCA! \nThe Y is a nonprofit like no other. Since 1973\, the Accelerator YMCA has been a catalyst sparking youth and young adults to take risks to create innovative solutions to the challenges facing our city and our world. Last year\, Accelerator served over 10\,000 teens and young adults with its programs. \nFor this project\, we will gather at their Downtown branch location for a time of education and outreach. The goal of this event is to discuss the importance of MLK Jr.’s legacy and how we continue to effectively help those marginalized groups in our community. We will then utilize the time to watch a relevant and important documentary. The viewing will be followed by a group discussion and debrief. Following the facilitated conversation\, our volunteers will get to participate in the Seattle’s annual MLK march (which is right next to our Downtown location). They will get to hand out Y swag\, snacks and water to participants in the march. \nLight food and refreshments will be provided during this time for our volunteers. \nSign up to volunteer here.

SUMMARY:Be a Kitchen Helper and Fight Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Are you a seasoned chef? Pride yourself on that amazing homemade pho? 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 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. For them\, finding and keeping a job is 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. \nSign up to volunteer here.

SUMMARY:Support our Free Tax Preparation Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, United Way volunteers help thousands of low-income people prepare their taxes.

Volunteers also connect people to savings opportunities and public benefits that they may not even know are available to them. \nThe Free Tax Preparation Campaign is part of a community-wide effort to help 50\,000 people escape poverty by 2020. We know it works\, and with your help we can continue to serve more people each year. \nJoin your fellow Emerging Leaders as we help sort and bundle outreach and informational materials for this year’s Free Tax Campaign. \nSign up to volunteer here. \n  \nYou can also sign up to be a Free Tax Volunteer at our exclusive shift for Emerging Leaders on Tuesday evenings.

SUMMARY:Holiday Special- Volunteer Get Together and Give Back
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, Emerging Leaders volunteers have accomplished some amazing things! Hundreds of you have visited 20+ sites and lent a hand doing everything from gardening at Marra Farm to bundling diapers at Westside Baby.

We’ll have all sorts of holiday treats\, including staples like hot chocolate & cookies\, and you’ll be able to mingle and chat with your fellow Leaders. \nBut that’s not all! We know you\, and we know you’re always looking for ways to give back. With that in mind\, we’ll have a few stations where you can create holiday thank you cards for Emerging Leader donors and decorate cookies that will be delivered to Mary’s Place (where women and children find shelter as the days get rainy and the nights get cold). \nRSVP here for this annual event.

SUMMARY:Support Youth and Families at Jubilee Reach
DESCRIPTION:Far too often\, parents in our community have to make the choice between working to put food on the table and spending time with their kids. Jubilee REACH helps solve that problem on the Eastside\, where it works to provide access to assistance programs and youth services. They offer mentoring\, tutoring\, and over 20 after-school clubs and sports at various Bellevue public schools. \nThe Thrift Store is a huge part of making that work possible\, and every dollar of net profit goes back to the community. If you’ve ever worked in retail\, you know the drill: we’ll be in the front of the house (re-stocking the floors and shelves\, organizing racks and other household items\, and helping customers) and also the back (hanging clothes\, sorting through donations\, cutting price tags\, tagging prices on merchandise and receiving donations from donors). \nRSVP here.
