Are you passionate about social work, housing stability, and connecting people to needed resources? Support our Administrative Services team!

We are looking for an Office Support Volunteer. Office support works closely with the Community Resource Gateway (CRG) team, providing reception services and clerical support to agency staff. Tasks include:

  • Respond to program participants, volunteers, and staff in person or via phone or email.
  • Answer phone calls and refer callers to 2-1-1 and/or assistance programs.
  • Enter data into spreadsheets or databases.
  • Organize books, files, and office supplies.
  • Organize mail and coordinate deliveries.

About Office Support: The Office Support team is housed under Solid Ground’s Stabilization Services department, which works to keep people in their current homes through information, advocacy, case management, and limited financial support. They strive to rapidly rehouse families who lose their housing and connect people with long-term housing solutions.

About Solid Ground

Location:

1501 N 45TH ST, SEATTLE, WA 98103, US

Mission Statement

Our mission... Solid Ground works to end poverty and undo racism and other oppressions that are root causes of poverty. Our vision... Solid Ground believes our community can move beyond poverty and oppression to a place where all people have access to quality housing, nutritious food, equal justice and opportunities to thrive. Our values... Solid Ground is committed to working with compassion, integrity, accountability, creativity and an anti-oppression approach to end homelessness, hunger, inequality and other barriers to social justice. We value collaboration and leadership from the communities we serve.

Description

Our history...

Solid Ground was founded in 1974 by community leaders and concerned citizens of one of Seattle's then most economically devastated neighborhoods, Fremont. Originally called the Fremont Public Association, our services - emergency food bank, clothing bank, and employment program - reflected the desperate needs and determined response of a mobilized and committed neighborhood.

Solid Ground today...

As the scope and severity of homelessness and poverty have increased over the years, so too have our reach to our greater community and our range of services. Now based in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, our 30 programs and services help more than 60,000 households each year overcome poverty and build better futures throughout King County and beyond.
