People know best what they need and should be involved in decisions that affect their lives. If you have ever wondered why the struggle is so real or questioned why the help you get sometimes makes life harder, this Council may be for you. Our Community Accountability Council (CAC) provides input to help us understand and incorporate the real-life experiences of people who come to us for services to help shape Solid Ground policies and programs. The CAC is made up of Solid Ground community members committed to leading change - people who understand that what’s happening in their lives is also happening to other people. CAC members participate in leadership development, advocacy, and social justice training to engage decision makers. Together, we explore the root causes of poverty and ways to address them to promote community-driven solutions to issues affecting people experiencing poverty in the Seattle/King County area. The CAC is looking for a few good folks to fill up our ranks. Requirements for membership, like hours of work needed, are few: Be 18 or older Ability to work with staff, volunteers, and participants with a variety of racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, lifestyles, and sexual orientations Lived experience with poverty and/or other oppressions What we ask in return: Attend monthly 2-hour meetings (currently 3rd Thursdays of each month). Commit to support Solid Ground’s work to end poverty and undo oppressions that keep people trapped in poverty for at least one year. Actively voice your opinions and share your experiences with the group. Be open to doing some reading, research, or collaboratino outside of the monthly meetings. To apply: Interested in volunteering or learning more about the opportunity? Contact Solid Ground Volunteer Services today! BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color), and people with the lived experience of poverty, racism, sexism, trans- and homophobia - everything the American system can put in our paths - are strongly encouraged to volunteer.
