Event Support: Summer Sounds (West Seattle)
ORGANIZATION: Neighborhood House
Please visit the new page to apply.
The Neighborhood House STUDIO program and Seattle Housing Authority are partnering to host Summer Sounds, a music festival that highlights and celebrates youth success in High Point and West Seattle more broadly while also connecting the community to local resources, services and colleges.
This family event will feature a variety of musical performances and activities, including cultural pieces, participatory art pieces and games. We aim to use this as a means to recognize all the youth in our communities who have made personal strides at school, from advancing a year to improving a grade in a difficult class, or graduating.
Live music will be performed during the event from 1-4pm. Free food will also be served to event attendees (while supplies last). There are multiple roles for volunteers at this event. We're seeking support for some of the following tasks:
- Event Set Up
- Food Service Support: monitoring the BBQ, operating concessions (popcorn, sno cone and cotton candy maker) and serving food to event attendees
- Helping with kids activities (face painting, games and making balloon animals)
- Event Clean Up
This is a great opportunity for volunteer groups, or individuals looking to provide more support to their community.

Mission Statement
The mission of Neighborhood House is to help diverse communities of people with limited resources attain their goals for self-sufficiency, financial independence, health, and community building.
Description
We provide free services that are culturally and linguistically relevant to immigrants, refugees, public housing residents, and low-income community members in King County. Neighborhood House was founded in Seattle by the National Council of Jewish Women in 1906, and for 114 years has fought to end the cycles of poverty, racism, and social inequities.
We want to lift children out of poverty. We want them to be healthy and ready to be successful in school and life. We want these children grow up in safe and supportive homes and neighborhoods.
We want to lift families out of poverty by creating opportunities for economic self-sufficiency and asset building.
We want seniors to live healthy, independent lives with respect and dignity, surrounded by friends and a supportive community.
We want to build strong and vibrant communities where everyone feels an attachment to their neighbors and neighborhood, where they work together to solve problems and celebrate their cultural diversity.
And finally, we want to create a greener, more sustainable community where low income families live in neighborhoods that are free of pollution and buffered from rising energy costs.
