Transormations

It has been a great fall as a Vista here with Seattle Works. Oh wait, Kym already wrote that. So having another Vista at your site has it's advantages and maybe now some disadvantages. While I participated with our Swank fundraiser and helped out a bit with Team Works, I have been working on some different projects from Kym to give an update on.

Seattle Works is great at getting volunteers out into the community so now it's time to look inward. We are currently looking at how we can more effectively use volunteers within our organization. I have been working the details for what Seattle Works wants that process to look like. This has meant spending countless hours on creating organizational charts, talking to our staff to identify where there are opportunities for using more volunteers, creating procedures, etc.

In addition, I have also had the opportunity to help organize two corporate volunteer projects at two public schools in south Seattle, Concord Internatial School and Brighton Elementary. These projects turned the playgrounds from drab to dramatic in 4 short (but busy) hours. Check it out!
