The Employee Giving Program is now recruiting King County Employees to serve as an Ambassadors for this year’s Annual Giving Drive to their work groups/sites.

As an Ambassador, you are the heart and soul of our Employee Giving Program team. We CANNOT run this program and support so many great causes without you. Last year that resulted in $2.37 million! You are the key to making sure that every King County employee has an opportunity to connect to a cause they care about through the program.

What is the impact?

When the experience is supported and voluntary, this is the average Ambassador outcome:

• 20% of employees an Ambassador works with pledge, raising $8,000 (This can plant 8,000 trees or provide 20,000 meals!)
• More engagement at work! Ambassadors and those who help at their work sites are 22% more engaged than employees who do not use the program. Contribute to teamwork, morale, gratitude, pride, and productivity!
• Provide powerful – possibly life-changing – moments of meaning for co-workers.
• Put it on your Resume! Top four skills developed:
  1. Organization and multitasking
  2. Communications and marketing
  3. Cooperatively working with employees at all levels of the organization
  4. Patience! 🙂
