Be a volunteer and make a difference
YES depends on nearly 20,000 volunteer hours a year to help us build self-reliant youth, strong families and a safe, caring Eastside community. Our volunteers receive training and support, along with the deep satisfaction of knowing you're making a real difference in the lives of young people. Here are just a few ways you can help:
- Special Events. YES' annual Invest in Youth Breakfast is a fun, exciting event that relies on volunteers for everything from planning to setting up the venue for the big event. The next Invest in Youth Breakfast will be on March 13th, 2012 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Click here for more information.
- Repair and maintain computers. Help us troubleshoot technology problems and keep our computer equipment up to date. Flexible hours to fit your schedule.
- General Handyperson. YES needs someone able to change lightbulbs, fix cabinets, move furniture, remove grafitti and various other general maintenance. Having a truck would be very helpful for this job. Only a few hours a week, with flexible hours, on an as-needed basis.
- Mentor a student. Provide the continuity and caring that may be missing from a young person's life. Volunteer mentors in our Success program receive quality training, weekly support, monthly newsletters and activities. You'll be asked to devote two to four hours per week for at least one year to your mentoring relationship.
- Billing Office. Come in and help out in our billing office a few hours a week. Filing, light data entry, copying and various other duties in a relaxed and fun environment. Must be able to maintain strict confidentiality about client information. Flexible schedule to suit your needs, with a minimum six month commitment.
Because of the confidential nature of the work we do at YES, we cannot accept volunteers who are less than 21 years old, or anyone who is fulfilling court-ordered community service hours.
For more information about any of these volunteer opportunities — or to suggest other ways that you might help YES — email our volunteer coordinator or call 425.747.4937. |
