WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Team Works makes volunteering easy, educational and fun. For four months you'll volunteer with a set group of 15 people, one Saturday per month, at four different community organizations.

It's a great way to learn more about the issues and organizations impacting our region, meet nice people and work with your peers to make Seattle a more vibrant community!

SCHEDULE

- Registration for the summer round just wrapped up. Contact Jan to receive an email reminder when it's time to sign up for the fall round.

- Kick-off: 10/2 7-8.30pm, location TBD

This is your chance to meet and spend a little time with your team, get your t-shirt and learn more about what's ahead!

Can't make it? Let your Team Captain know and check in afterwards to find out what you missed.

- Projects: 2nd Saturday of the month, 10am-2pm, October - January

You'll dig in at various nonprofits, parks and schools around town. Afterwards everyone is invited to a local watering hole for some post-project fun.

Projects dates and focus areas are as follows:

October 11, Learning Spaces

November 8, Green Spaces

December 13, Community Faces

January 10, Healthy Spaces

HOW IT WORKS

 - You have choices. When you sign up online, you'll get to note preferences for which team you want to be on. You'll be able to see the team name and team theme (if applicable - new to Seattle, 20s team, etc) and the organization where you'll be volunteering on our website.

While some people sign up with someone they know, many participants sign up on their own and meet their teammates for the first time at the kick off. So if you're worried about not knowing anyone, stop that right now!

- Teams are first come, first serve. Once a team reaches 15 people, it's full! So if you are signing up with friends or you are very, very interested in a specific team, it's best to jump on it.

You'll be notified which team you are on when our teams are all full and will be connected via email to your Team Captain.

 - Team Works has a $30 registration fee. This helps cover the costs of running this fine program, plus you get a snazzy t-shirt and entrance to our final post-project event.

 - IT'S EXPECTED YOU ATTEND ALL THE PROJECTS. Can't make it to all four Team Works projects? Jump on some Hot Projects, our one-time commitments in the meantime, and get ready for the Feb-June round of Team Works.
