Hi There, 
Sign up today to volunteer for one hour each week reading aloud to little kids!
More than half of all kindergartners in our state are entering school without the social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills they need to be successful. Research shows that those who start behind often stay behind. The good news is that reading with kids on a regular basis can make a real difference. United Way of King County is currently recruiting volunteers to read aloud to young children (ages 3-5), one or two at a time (not group reading), at preschools, Head Start classrooms, and child care centers throughout King County. All opportunities are between 9am-4pm Monday to Friday only. Sites and shift times are listed on our website. Visit www.uwkc.org/readers and click the “register today” link at the bottom of our webpage to get involved or email readers@uwkc.org for more information. Thank you!

A 90-something who lives in a one bedroom apartment alone near 17th and Madison hopes for help. Visitors are rare, and she does not go out. She mainly needs help with someone to do the laundry and vacuum—a volunteer already visits every other weekend, but she really needs more help than that and we’re trying to find a volunteer to visit on alternate weekends. The current volunteer is happy to meet with you and this lovely lady to introduce you.

A sweet 30-something disabled woman with fibromyalgia and chronic headaches that leave her with very little stamina asks for help. She is looking for help with general housework, including mopping the floors, vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom--things that she cannot do, because her chronic illnesses leave her in pain and with very little energy. She likes to keep her apartment neat and tidy, and hopes for the occasional visit from a friendly volunteer to help her out. Her and her cat would love a visit from you.
Awesome Senior Waits for Visits from You. A past volunteer describes this 70-something woman like this: "She is wonderful!!! I have been doing more socializing then house work. She is awesome and I am so lucky to volunteer for her!" She hopes for help with light housework, and possibly reading because she's losing her eyesight. She also has mobility problems which make it difficult for her to bend a lift, so it's really tough for her to even sweep her floors. If you have an hour or two every other week...

Then participate in The Bridge!
The Bridge is a dynamic training program designed to give you the basics in nonprofit and government board service. Step on up! Why board service? Impact. There is nothing better than making a difference in a child's life through tutoring, or enhancing your neighborhood by cleaning up a park. But think about the impact you could have if you served on a board that determined how many children received tutoring, or which parks were receiving the most funding? On a board, you give direction, you raise the money and YOU are our community's stewards. Without boards, our community institutions would fall apart... do you really want to live in a community without them? The Course In a series of trainings, you'll learn about roles and responsibilities of nonprofit and public board members in addition to completing personal skill and interest assessments. The Bridge coursework focuses on: - financial and legal responsibilities - governance structures - fundraising and public budgeting -...

The Youth Tutoring Program (YTP) of Catholic Community Services’ Summer Reading Program is an intensive six-week literacy program for elementary and middle school students (1st-8th grade) at or below grade level in reading. YTP serves students living in low and mixed income housing communities in Seattle. The goal of the Summer Reading Program is to motivate academically at-risk elementary and middle school students to read independently, to improve students’ language arts skills, especially reading comprehension, and to encourage more positive attitudes toward reading as an activity of choice.
Volunteer tutors and students read books, write book reports, participate in reading related activities, learn new vocabulary words, improve listening and reading comprehension and hopefully discover the joy of reading.

Why is the summer reading program important for students? A summer reading program is crucial for our students. Research shows that over the summer, the achievement gap between low-income and higher-income students actually grows. Middle-income students experience slight gains in reading performance during the summer while low-income students move backwards in reading achievement by more than two months (Cooper 1996). YTP's Summer Reading Program is designed to narrow that achievement gap and...
