Volunteer


Self-Assessment Tool

Employees from Bank of America volunteer their time to help decorate apartments at YWCA Opportunity Place. The mission of the YWCA of Seattle · King County · Snohomish County is to advance the quality of life for women of all ages, races and faiths, and their families. We believe that, working together, we can create a community where:

All women and families have a safe, stable place to live.
All adults have the opportunity to earn a livable wage and achieve self-sufficiency.
All children and youth can develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
All people can live in dignity - free from violence, racism and discrimination.

Thank you for your interest in joining our team of dedicated volunteers. People like you are essential to the services we provide in our communities and we welcome your involvement!
