Join Rally Club Seattle, a collaborative, after-school group mentorship community with some amazing, thoughtful, creative, resilient, and hilarious teens and tweens!

Did you know that the CDC reported 42% of teens in the US feel persistently sad or hopeless, and 57% of females feel persistently sad or hopeless, and 42% of all teens feel this way?

Connectedness not only has a powerful protective effect on mental health, but also improves other youth outcomes such confidence, concern for others, and academic competence. Caring mentors like you create a welcoming, fun, and inclusive community that teens and tween want to be a part of! Time is spent in larger group activities and well as in small groups and in giving individualized attention. Activities are tailored to youth interest, and may include arts and crafts, PE type games (relays, dodgeball), pickleball, ping pong, board games, cooking, and more. Mentors may also serve as tutors, helping with homework as needed.

We take a collaborative approach to mentorship, with several mentors in place each week. Our very low (2:1 to 3:1) child: adult ratios are designed to allow time for volunteers to get to know youth well and to allow flexibility in volunteers’ schedule. We aim for about 3 to 4 mentors each day and about 8 to 12 youth for each "club" location.

About Rally Club Seattle

Location:

Magnuson Park, Seattle, WA 98115, US

Mission Statement

Our mission at Rally Club Seattle is to empower youth to reach their greatest potential.

Description

Rally Club is a group mentorship program that helps underserved youth in middle school reach their fullest potential using individualized academic support, sports, and variety of activities and opportunities designed to engage youth and broaden their horizons.

Quality mentoring relationships are proven to have profound, positive effects on young people.

Rally Club began in 2022 with 6 participating youth and has grown to have 17 enrolled students. Goals are to get to know each child and their families well, build trust, and be a consistent, long-term presence. Rally Club started with middle school because it is an important, transitional phase where youth need a lot of support, yet are often overlooked by programs focused on younger children.

Programming takes place after school on the campus of Seattle's Magnuson Park.
