Volunteers Needed to Assist with One Night Count!

Friday, January 24^th, 1:00AM-5:00AM

Each January, volunteers like you help count men, women, and children who are outside during one winter night. The One Night Count sets in motion a full year of education, engagement, and action for Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness (SKCCH ~ pronounced “Skitch!”). We work throughout the year to make sure that every person who is homeless counts. We educate, speak up, and act at the local, county, state, and federal levels for safety, survival, housing, and justice – and you can be part of the action!

Over 900 volunteers go out with 125 trained team leaders to pre-arranged areas in parts of Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Shoreline, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Kent, Federal Way, Renton, Auburn, and White Center. The Count is only possible through the dedicated support from hundreds of individuals and dozens of community organizations, congregations and government agencies.

The ONC Area Lead for the University District has requested a few UW student and faculty teams to assist with this year’s count in our neighborhood.

Interested in volunteering? Contact Kaelyn at  caldweka@uw.edu by Wednesday, January 1 at 5:00pm

TEAM CAPTAINS are also needed. Please let Kaelyn know if you’re interested in being a Team Captain!

The Queer Student Commission is one the eight diversity commissions founded by the Associated Students at the University of Washington. Each commission has a mandate to put on education programs each quarter, as well as serve and advocate for its constituency within the student government and the administration. The QSC seeks to put on programming within an anti-oppressive framework, focusing on planning events that are all at once nonhetero- and cisnormative, anti-racist, anti-ableist, and anti-sexist. You can read our mission statement and more at http://qsc.asuw.org/about/.

And now we’re asking that you become a part of the QSC and work to create spaces and events for queer students. The QSC is hiring interns who would have a big involvement in the planning of all events and programming the QSC puts on. There’s asked a 2-6 hour commitment per week including the weekly meetings on Wednesday from 6-7, varying depending on the busyness of the week. These internships are, sadly, unpaid, but they are extremely valuable both in the learning potential and their value to the campus community as well as their potential for networking.

Students of all gender identities, races, classes, sexual orientations, minds and bodies are encouraged to apply here.

The internships with the ASUW Women’s Action Commission are now available. Please pass this information on.
