May 21st is Seattle Works Day, in which 1,500 volunteers will be participating in 32 different service projects throughout Seattle from noon to 3:30 p.m. That’s 5,000 hours of service in a single day, organized by the nonprofit Seattle Works.

The volunteers converge at Seattle Center immediately following the projects for an after party hosted by Seattle Works following the service projects. Last year 81% of participants said that they were inspired to do more in the community as a result of Seattle Works Day.

Seattle Works is still accepting teams and individual volunteers – please visit www.seattleworks.org or contact Kathleen Weber (206-324-0808 or kathleen@seattleworks.org) to learn how to get involved!

Over 1,500 volunteers will be cleaning up 28 sites around town from noon to 3:30 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, May 22 as part of Seattle Works Day.

And after spending the afternoon fixing up parks, p-patches, community centers and other neighborhood spots citywide, volunteers are invited to a Seattle Works Day after party at Seattle Center!

Registration is $30 per person and includes and event t-shirt and access to the after party. All proceeds go toward Seattle Works and its year-round mission “to connect local organizations with enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers.”
