Do you want to meet a group of people who care as deeply about your community as you? Do you want to develop leadership skills and help set a course for Neighborhood House’s future? We are an organization serving communities in King County for the past 114 years! Neighborhood House partners with over 15,000 diverse individuals and families to build community and achieve their goals for health, education and economic opportunity. One Board member reports they find this opportunity valuable, as they engage in "frank and professional conversations, exchange of ideas on comments, transparency, diversity."
If you represent a low-income community, have used Neighborhood House services, live in public housing, or are low-income, please consider joining our Board of Directors! The Board meets on the third Thursday of each month in Seattle. Childcare, dinner, translation, and transportation support are provided.

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.
