Rally Club Seattle

Our mission is to harness the power of mentorship and community to empower youth to reach their greatest potential.

Rally Club Seattle (RCS) is a grassroots-formed, group mentorship program for teens and tweens in Northeast Seattle. RCS serves dozens of youth at 4 separate locations, with cohorts onsite at Seattle public school locations as well as affordable housing communities.

Programming consists of cohorts of youth and volunteer adult mentors meeting weekly afterschool or during lunchtime. Rally Club facilitates mentor and youth participation in activities based on needs and interests of the group. Activities are youth-driven, and have included homework help, swimming lessons, shared meals, art, sewing, professional cooking classes, basketball, and more. Each unique cohort becomes a fun, welcoming, and inclusive environment where time spent socializing not only connects youth to mentors and peers but also encourages social-emotional learning in a safe, controlled environment. Field trips and special family events are sprinkled in to broaden horizons and share experiences.

Rally Club Seattle has recruited, trained and supported more than 30 volunteer mentors. Since beginning programming in the spring of 2022, these mentors have donated more than 1000 hours of time directly engaging with youth during Rally Club programming.
