History
A group of young individuals started the organization around 20 plus years ago that is now called Seattle Works. Seattle Works primarily offers one time community volunteer projects also known as hot projects for everyone without the longer term commitment. In the longer term, this facilitates choice for the people to select the cause they wish to align with on basis of their interest and schedule. The hot projects are either organized and run by the Seattle Works team or the partner organization seeking volunteers for their initiatives.
