Looking to get outside and active during these long summer days? There's always something going on with restoration efforts in your local parks. You can help keep Seattle's outdoor spaces beautiful today!

Home - Green Seattle Partnership The Green Seattle Partnership is a collaboration between the City of Seattle, Forterra, community groups and non-profits, businesses, schools, and thousands of volunteers working together to restore and actively maintain the City’s forested parklands.

So excited to be at the Volunteer Administrators Network (VAN) Northwest annual conference and engage with the amazing volunteer coordinators around the PNW!

Volunteer Administrators Network NW's May Professional Gathering centered on "episodic," or one-time volunteers. Here are some of the key takeaways from the conversation!

Those Episodic Volunteers!
