There’s more way than one to give back to the great city of Seattle. Check out the various options offered by ARC.
Be The Voice of Your Community
ARC, in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation, serves Seattle by offering a variety of recreational and lifelong learning programs, classes, activities, and events. All of these are powered by our passionate community volunteers, unified under the goal of creating access and improving the quality of recreational services for all of Seattle. Our Board of Directors oversee ARC as an organization and non-profit, while our Advisory Council members contribute to programming and events all across Seattleās community centers and recreation groups.
Board of Directors
Our amazing Board of Directors is a group of dedicated volunteers who assist with the policy, strategy, management, and stability of ARC as a non-profit. We are regularly looking for new board members representing a wide variety of backgrounds and experience levels.
Advisory Councils
ARCās Advisory Council members are dedicated volunteers who support the community centers, citywide initiatives, and environmental learning centers throughout the city of Seattle. Our 37 advisory councils support Seattle Parks and Recreations staff and programs in community centers, parks, pools, and more.
Volunteering with an Advisory Council is a direct opportunity to help create more access for underserved populations and improve the quality of programs and services provided by ARC in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation.
Events
ARC hosts a variety of free family events, fundraising events, and more in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation and sponsored by many corporate and community sponsors.
