Be the catalyst needed for food service nonprofits to more effectively recruit, engage and retain quality volunteers. United Way’s Volunteer Manager Corps (VMC) program, developed in partnership with 501 Commons, is recruiting for volunteers and interns to work 10 hours/ week June through September, 2017. The volunteers help the selected nonprofit agencies develop more effective volunteer management systems, to leverage their volunteer’s time more powerfully. This summer, programs are available working with the Tukwila Pantry, and Family Works, which manages food banks in Wallingford and Greenwood.
VMC members receive:
- training and support
- experience working in the management of a nonprofit organization
- recognition for helping to increase an organization’s capacity to deliver services
- internship credit if arranged by the VMC member
- a $400 United Way of King County service award, depending on hours completed.

Mission Statement
We all rise when nonprofits thrive. 501 Commons serves nonprofits as experts, innovators, and partners. Our passion is to amplify the strengths of nonprofits--so people and communities flourish.
Description
501 Commons was founded in 1989 as Executive Service Corps of Washington. In 2010, we changed our name to 501 Commons, reflecting a changing role and broader range of services. Most of our clients are in the Pacific Northwest, but many of our services are available to nonprofits in other geographic areas.
Our name is based on the principle of the "the commons." The commons can be characterized as having five distinct attributes:
- Free and uncoerced participation
- A shared purpose
- Jointly held resources
- A sense of mutuality
- Relationships that are characterized by justice and fairness
Our Theory of Practice describes how we approach our work and our Team Charter describes how our team of 45+ work together to serve our clients.
501 Commons is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible, nonprofit, charitable organization and is a member of the Executive Service Corps - United States. By volunteering your time to 501 Commons, you are impacting the success of over 2,000 organizations each year. Join us!
