United Way of King County is out and about in your community! We’re keeping an eye and a pulse on happenings, events, organizations, and activities throughout King County as we work side by side with communities and partners to achieve an equitable future for everyone.

We’re in These Streets is a blog post that highlights your community. Recently, United Way visited two area events.

Hazel Cameron of 4-C Coalition honored

We were there when 4-C Coalition Director Hazel Cameron was honored for her decades of service to local communities. 4-C stands for Clergy, Community, and Children-Youth Coalition, and its founding culminated efforts among clergy and community members to foster prevention.

Cameron was one of the founders of 4-C Coalition, which has served more than 2,000 youth through one-on-one mentoring, group mentoring, and tutoring.

United Way congratulates Cameron, whose organization is a member of our Racial Equity Coalition, a group of 14 local nonprofits that use after-school programs to help youth celebrate their cultural identities and stay engaged in school.

Indigenous professionals gather for networking

We were also there for Seattle Urban Native Nonprofits’ Native Professionals Night, a happy hour networking event for local Indigenous professionals.

The event is hosted in conjunction with the sləp̓iləbəxʷ (Rising Tides) Thriving Native Future Convening to bring Indigenous communities closer together.

Seattle Urban Native Nonprofits comprise United Way of King County’s Indigenous Communities Fund, which United Way launched in 2020 to provide Indigenous communities with resources to address COVID-19’s impact.

Fund members will participate in this weekend’s 35th Annual Seafair Indian Days Powwow at the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center grounds. For more information about the Powwow, click here.
