The Life You Can Save

Everyone deserves to be loved. 
Everyone deserves a life free from exploitation.

We exist to provide pathways to freedom, safety, and hope for victims of sex trafficking and people involved in the sex trade.  This means offering programs that are centered on the strengths, needs, and individual choices of each survivor we serve. In all of our programs, from crisis intervention through long term housing, we work with survivors to increase their safety and move toward healing, stability, and economic independence.

Keelworks Foundation is a 501c3; we get people to work. We've helped people get to work since 2009 with resume and job experience.

Everywhere we look, we see the unemployed and the economically disadvantaged. Some we look at and say, they get what they deserve, they did work hard and I did. You can look at this problem with compassion, understanding that it isn't that simple or you can look at it from the selfish perspective: their lack of contribution affects us. 

KeelWorks helps students transition to employment, others with some education practice in area related to experience to gain qualifications for greater responsibility. In both of these, thousands have come and left with paying jobs.

We are building the KeelMaster program to respond to the more challenged unemployed and under employed. This program requires comprehensive assessment to uncover and mitigate barriers as well as identify strengths. It then assigns to small facilitated teams where they learn eight core competencies (self-identify, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, assertiveness, team-building, goal determination, and goal management). Teams stay together with facilitation pursuing goals and supporting each other for as long as it takes for all to be stable in employment. 

The KeelMaster program has prompted the development of a learning management system, a participant environment, a participant record, and several other applications designed and developed by volunteers. Some of these we hope to offer as a vehicle for funding the foundation and an endowment fund. 

For every life we change, we affect families, generations, communities, and nations. We all need to contribute and feel we are a part of some solution. We all deserve satisfying work.

Rebuilding our communities through committed relationships centered on love, compassion, and consistency.

Community Passageways (CP) is a Seattle-based nonprofit founded in 2017 with a vision for zero youth incarceration. We create alternatives to incarceration for youth and young adults by rebuilding our communities through committed relationships centered on love, compassion, and consistency. 

We: 

• Create alternatives to the carceral system through rebuilding our communities. 

• Serve primarily Black and brown youth and young adults in King County by connecting them to Ambassadors with shared life experience. 

• Believe criminalization and ostracization are ineffective deterrents to unproductive behaviors; and the carceral system further harms people who have already been negatively impacted by trauma.

Community Passageways (CP) is leading the way in reimagining and actively creating an alternative to today’s criminal legal system. 

Over the last 20 years in Seattle, we have seen a sharp decline in the number of young people in detention. But even as the overall number decreased, our current juvenile legal system has a disproportionately harmful impact on youth of color, particularly black youth. While only 10% of King County’s 2 million residents are black, they now make up almost half of the detention population on any given day, and more than half of felony offenses.

We have a four-pronged approach to community justice: 

- Prevention: Keep youth on a good path. Show them new paths.
- Diversion: Keep people out of the prison system and in community.
- Support: Support people already in the prison system.
- Reintegrate: Ensure a smooth, successful integration into the community.

Our community-centered and evidence-based model provides an alternative to the current criminal legal system.  We collaborate with families, schools, the court system, correctional center staff, religious institutions, policy makers, and community members to support adolescent youth of color. We provide youth mentors and access to programs focused on personal healing, identity development, and leadership building.

We employ men and women from the community who share similar racial, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds with our young people who have lived experience navigating the full spectrum of the school-to-prison pipeline to act as credible messengers and Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors work with heart, humility, and compassion, to lead community and school-based healing circles, individual and family case management, court advocacy, and youth leadership opportunities. 

Young people kept in the community through their dedication and our support have gone on to enroll in college, start businesses, graduate from high school, and help rebuild our communities.

Our mission is to prevent homelessness and bolster access to the foundational resources we all need to thrive.

We envision engaged communities that honor human dignity, value belonging, and embrace interdependence. Established in 1982, Queen Anne Helpline prevents homelessness through rental, utility, and move-in assistance in three Seattle ZIP codes: 98109, 98119, and 98199. In addition, we provide supportive resources to households across the greater Seattle area. These resources include dignified clothing and linens, nourishing food, hygiene products, and transportation vouchers. Since our founding, we have held a specific focus on serving seniors, individuals with disabilities, and families with children.

Sound Pathways helps individuals affected by alcohol, substance use, and/or mental health issues thrive in Snohomish County.

Sound Pathways, steadfast in its commitment to combating drug and alcohol addiction, has been a beacon of hope for Snohomish County for over 50 years. Our relentless pursuit to mend the broken threads of families touched by addiction has led us to the forefront of substance use disorder support.

Over time, we've learned that addiction doesn't discriminate - it cuts across all genders, identities, races, religions, ages, marital statuses, incomes, sexual orientations, zip codes, and professions. Our understanding of the deep-rooted complexities of addiction informs our approach, ensuring we leave no stone unturned in the battle against these devastating diseases.

Our wrap-around social services cater to all affected by substance use disorders, with special attention to pregnant and parenting women and men in need. Each year, we serve and support more than 5,000 people, breathing life into hundreds of families, reuniting them or saving them from the trauma of separation.

Our cornerstone initiatives include the Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP), the Foundational Community Supports (FCS) Supportive Housing Program, and the Syringe Services Program (SSP). These programs, grounded in research, compassion, and non-judgment, offer critical resources aimed at stabilizing lives, promoting healthier behaviors, and rebuilding self-reliance.

By standing with Sound Pathways, you stand with a mission that transforms lives, strengthens families, and builds a safer, healthier community. Your support plays a crucial role in fostering lasting change and a brighter future for all residents of Snohomish County.
