Collaborative program development
At the heart of effective program development is collaboration. By engaging partners, stakeholders, and community members in every stage of the process—from ideation to implementation—we ensure that programs are not only relevant but also sustainable and impactful. Collaborative program development brings together diverse perspectives, shared expertise, and mutual ownership, resulting in solutions that truly address real-world needs. Our approach centers on building strong partnerships that drive meaningful outcomes.

back to action
In response to this concerning decline in volunteerism, a unique partnership has formed with the goal of boosting the number of people volunteering at local food banks.
Under the campaign “Back To Action,” Northwest Harvest, Safeway, Washington Food Coalition, Vault89 Strategies, the Seattle Seahawks, and KING 5 have banded together to support the vital work of food banks throughout the state of Washington by sponsoring a drive to bring volunteers back to help in this crucial effort.
project perspective
We don’t often approach our own community or city as a place to explore. We tend to normalize our surroundings and the people in it. Project Perspective aims to inspire youth to change this outlook.
The goal is to expand our perspective on the great area we live in, grow a sense of belonging with it, and be presented with ideas that could lead them to a future they feel excited about!
At the heart of Project Perspective is the belief that exposure to different perspectives ignites creativity, critical thinking, and empathy.
These field trips not only provide students with unforgettable memories but also equip them with the tools to navigate an interconnected world.
As students take part in interactive workshops, connect with experts, and explore new surroundings, they cultivate a richer understanding of the diverse fabric that makes up our society.
