King County’s Employee Giving Program (EGP) Annual Drive runs from Oct. 7 – Nov. 22. During this time, employees can pledge time, make payroll donations, or participate in special events to support their favorite causes and nonprofits. Metro’s Lead Ambassadors—Kerry Flory, Justin Johnson, and Monique Lowe—will be sharing more information soon on how you can participate. Be on the lookout for upcoming messages and events!
However, our leads can’t do it alone and need help spreading the word. Metro is looking for employees to volunteer as a Worksite Ambassador to work alongside our Lead Ambassadors. This is great way to encourage others to participate in the EGP Annual Drive and boost your resume in the process.
Worksite Ambassadors will attend 4 hours of virtual or in-person training and then spend 1-2 hours per week throughout the duration of the Annual Drive. The EGP aims to have one Worksite Ambassador per location or for every 50 employees. With over 5,000 employees at Metro, we ideally need 100 Worksite Ambassadors. A big thank you to those who have already signed up—we still need more volunteers! Help us make a difference while building your resume, growing your Metro community, and gaining new skills.
To apply, check with your supervisor for approval first (this is required) and then complete the online Worksite Ambassador registration form. For more details on the program, how to get involved, or ways to contribute, reach out to our Lead Ambassadors directly, email employeegiving@kingcounty.gov, or visit kingcounty.gov/giving.
