Teens In Public Service

We wish to cordially invite you to “Mapping Our Impact,” Teens In Public Service’s Annual Fall Luncheon! This past summer, TIPS provided 75 high school interns with meaningful work experiences at 60 nonprofit partner sites. Collectively, these incredible young leaders supported their nonprofits with over 11,000 hours of community-centered work. At our Luncheon, we will reflect on the growth of this amazing organization and look towards how we will expand our impact throughout the greater Puget Sound. Join us by using the following link to register: https://lnkd.in/gXmhbMQq Tickets start at $100 each.

We’re excited to welcome a new member to the TIPS Team! Erin M. Escobar joined as our new Program & Development Associate last week, bringing great enthusiasm and passion for youth development. Erin comes to us with a vast background in teaching and education all over the Greater Puget Sound and in California. She’s worked with all ages, pre-K through college, and strives to make spaces that are inclusive of everyone in the room. In addition to teaching, Erin has held roles in membership coordination and development, and she hopes to utilize her illustrious background to help carry out TIPS’ mission of providing young leaders with an impactful experience. Head to the latest TIPS Blog Post (https://lnkd.in/gPF2AAr3) where we get to know Erin, as well as our new ED, Geoff, a bit more!

Believe it or not, today marks the final day of the 2024 TIPS Internship Program! We have had such a fantastic summer working with our high school interns and nonprofit partners. Each year truly brings so much joy and encouragement from the passion these young leaders have for impacting their communities. TIPS considers it such a privilege to provide this opportunity, and we are so grateful for the hard work put in this summer - over 11,000 hours of it! Lucky for us, you can hear more about each interns' reflections on their experience by heading to the TIPS website: https://lnkd.in/gf_9N4r8. Thank you interns; we are so excited to continue seeing you grow!

After an extensive search, the TIPS Board is thrilled to appoint Geoff Ball, as the new TIPS Executive Director. Geoff has led organizations of all sizes while focusing much of his career on Youth Development. Upon arriving in Seattle from his home on the East Coast, he had the great fortune of Directing YMCA Camp Orkila. When asked about his “why” for joining the TIPs team, Geoff shared his excitement for the mission and becoming part of such a homegrown organization with an extensive, and fabulous history developing leaders and serving the greater Seattle community. We are excited for the youth development, fundraising, and operational expertise Geoff will bring to our incredible team and to our TIPS programming! -- Image description: Text reading "Welcome, Geoff" at top of screen, with a headshot of Geoff in middle, circular frame.
