Two programs are looking for adult volunteers to help local kids:

BE A MENTOR! Here’s how:

Empower Mentoring Program is gearing up to start their second year at Denny International Middle School. We are still looking for a few more volunteer mentors to work with the students. Mentors and students meet three times a month, twice as one-on-one pairs, doing fun stuff around the community, and one time attending a workshop that will give the student skills that will help them through middle school, and later in life. To get involved, please call our executive director Julia Hodges at 206-819-6416, email at
empowermentoring@gmail.com, and visit our website at empowermentoring.org.

BE A COACH! Girls On The Run is about to start its new season – Monday! – and needs one more coach for each of three participating local schools – West Seattle Elementary, Westside School (WSB sponsor), and Alki Elementary. Volunteer coaches “empower 3rd – 5th grade girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices, recognize their gifts, and activate their power to make healthy choices for years to come!” with a curriculum that “uses running games to teach healthy living lessons that develop the whole girl; her social, emotional and physical self. Alongside 1-2 other coaches, you will explore issues like media awareness, nutrition, emotional health, positive communication, and community service.” Interested? Apply here, ASAP. Questions? jen@girlsrun.org
