Seattle Works! aims to get young adults (20s and 30s) involved in the community on a variety of different levels to prepare them for increased civic leadership in their later years. Seattle Works! activities run a huge gamut from their core TeamWorks concept of creating small groups to do one community service proect per month for several months to a number of civic dialogue events, often held at local brewhouses. Seattle Works! has become well-established and often functions quite well, but not without the hiccups common to non-profits. As a former teamworks participant, I can say that I had a great time and enjoyed most of my service. Team Works can definitely be a great place to meet other young people who share your ideals as well.
