Quotes from the graduation:

"You have to stay positive. It was hard and I was worried, but I stayed positive and Julie was there with me the whole time. Now I feel really good about my skills and I can't wait to learn more." -Resident

"I love doing this! Don't stop the program. It's been a great benefit to all the students I've had! Some have gotten jobs, some have learned valuable skills, while others have reconnected with long lost loved ones thanks to this program!" -Volunteer

Recent Volunteer Projects

MLK Day at the Cate:

The children living in Greenwood's Cate Apartments learned all about Dr. Martin Luther King during a special arts and crafts day with volunteers from Phinney Estate Law and the United Way of King County. The children and volunteers drew from the legacy of Dr. King by creating peace and justice themed projects. Volunteers led the children through multiple craft stations all centered around Dr. King. A number of the items now hang in the community room at the Cate for all to enjoy and become inspired by.
