Ad Hoc Volunteer Opportunities
The Seattle Girls' School has created a Mentor Program, which serves to facilitate our students' personal, educational and future career development through relationships with role models in our local community.
You can learn more about the Mentor Program by clicking here.
We're seeking volunteer tutors to work at least one day a week in our after school Homework Center.
Volunteers will work one-on-one with sixth and seventh grade students, helping with homework in a variety of subjects.
Homework Center runs Monday through Thursday from 3:45-4:45.
If you are interested, please call (206) 709-2228 and speak with the Volunteer Coordinator.
Internships: Internships allow students across grades to pursue an interest beyond the scope of the curriculum. They run for seven weeks on Wednesday afternoons from 1:15-3:15p.m. in the Fall, Winter and Spring. In each seven-week block, students select their Internship topic from a list of available classes.
Past internships have included:
- Home Alive- Self Defense and Confidence Building
- Guitar and Song Writing
- Hip Hop Music Recording and Poetry Writing
- Skate Like a Girl
- Bikeworks
- Breakdancing
- Power of Hope
- Gardening and Giving
- Human Biology
- Karate
- Daycare
- Urban Arts
- Foodbank
If you'd like to offer an internship (for 10-12 students), please contact the Internship Progam.
Competitive Teams: SGS fields five different teams throughout the course of the school year.
In the fall, SGS students take to the field for soccer and cross-country.
In the winter, they train for Basketball and learn to ski or snowboard.
The spring finds SGS students back out on the fields learning and competing in Lacrosse and Ultimate Frisbee.
Competitive teams are open to all students at any level of experience.
Practices are held after school, from 3:30-5:30pm, and game times and location vary by season.
If you would like to coach, provide transportation, or help to manage a team, please contact the Athletic Director at (206) 709-2228.
