SUMMARY:Emerging Leaders: Hands-on engagement with kids and the Vietnamese Friendship Association
DESCRIPTION:We can all agree: when all kids – regardless of ethnicity\, religion\, or socioeconomic status – do better\, we all do better. More importantly\, education builds a strong foundation that our community can grow on. \nEmerging Leaders will partner with the Vietnamese Friendship Association to lend a hand in building that foundation. The Vietnamese community in Seattle is a key part of what makes our city ours\, and the VFA is dedicated to making sure it’s a community that thrives. Unfortunately\, recently arrived refugee and immigrant youth face incredible barriers to success and self-sufficiency\, often falling more than a year behind their English-speaking peers in school. \nEmerging Leaders will be working with youth on fun team-building activities throughout the day at VFA’s Culture Fair. Activities include: running booths\, organizing games and activities\, serving food and more. \nClick here to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:Support families with Westside Baby
DESCRIPTION:Pop quiz time!\nQ: How much does an adequate monthly supply of diapers cost per child? A: $70-$100 (that’s up to $1200 per year – just for diapers!)\nQ: How much of that cost is covered by food stamps or other assistance programs? A: $0 \nThose stats make Westside Baby’s work all the more impactful: they’re the only social service agency in the West King County area that collects\, inspects and distributes free diapers\, clothing\, cribs and safety gear for babies and children. In the past sixteen years\, they’ve provided $16.5 million worth of free diapers\, clothing and gear to help more than 195\,000 infants and children. \nWith all of the support Westside Baby provides to families\, we thought it only fair to support Westside Baby! Emerging Leaders will spend a few hours sorting donations of clothing and toys\, filling orders\, creating clothing bags\, and bundling diapers. \nClick here to reserve your spot!

DESCRIPTION:Many of you know FareStart for the culinary training programs that they have\, which help people develop the work and life skills they need to have lifelong careers.

SUMMARY:Prepare a meal with FareStart
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.

SUMMARY:Prepare a meal with FareStart
DESCRIPTION:This project has reached capacity! Please join us for another opportunity instead. \nAre 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.

SUMMARY:Support the Eastside community with 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. \nJubilee 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). \nClick here to RSVP today!

SUMMARY:Support Seattle advocates with prep for Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Public policy affects all facets of Seattle life\, from the number of buses that run your route to work to the number of people sleeping unsheltered every night. It takes a lot to create – or change – policy\, but one of the most important ways to do so is to make your voice heard! Lobby Day gives everyone the chance to reach their legislators about issues they truly care about. \nWe’ll be preparing information packets for Lobby Day advocates\, as well as thank you bags for advocates and legislators. Join us to get ready for the day\, learn a bit more about what it means to lobby\, and maybe even volunteer to make your own voice heard on Lobby Day on 2/23! \nClick here to register today!
