Summer Americorps positions – stipend and education awards in Seattle, King County

United Way of King County is hiring for summer and beyond.

Why be a Summer Associate? 1 in 5 kids in our community struggles with hunger, but if you join our team, your work will build security and financial stability for families across in your community. In this position, you would host a free summer meal site in Seattle or South King County, and make sure every kid has access to healthy food, educational activities and great role models while school is out.

As you invest a summer to support local families, you’ll receive:

  • Excellent training, a food handler’s permit, and professional development opportunities
  • Site management, community outreach and event planning experience
  • A $1,466/month living stipend  and $1,252.91 AmeriCorps Education Award
  • The chance to join a network of like-minded, passionate AmeriCorps alumni across Washington state

Sound good to you? If you’re looking for professional experience and a launchpad for a meaningful career, apply today!

Looking for something longer term? Summer Associates also receive top priority for our full-term AmeriCorps positions that address childhood hunger, help students graduate, lift people out of homelessness and build financial stability. Many of our summer associates go on to careers in the nonprofit or public sector, and United Way’s financial stability team is made up entirely of former AmeriCorps members.

As an alumna of these programs, I can vouch for the invaluable impact a service term with United Way has had on my personal and professional growth. I’d love for you to join our team.

Sincerely,

Lydia Landrey
AmeriCorps Alumni
