Volunteer

Our volunteers help us run.

Volunteers are an invaluable part of Hugo House. In our first years, volunteers helped remodel the House and get us off the ground. Today, volunteers do essential work for all of our programs.

Join the team.

As a volunteer, you can become part of the team that keeps the House humming. Your contribution to Hugo House can help you strengthen your connection to the Seattle writing community, explore your talents, gain work experience, and make friends with similar interests.

Administrative

Want to learn about the nuts and bolts of a nonprofit organization? Our administrative volunteers work on tasks ranging from organizing class data to providing event support. Some availability is required Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Events

Our literary events need support to run smoothly, especially during set-up, check-in, and clean-up. If you have a knack for digital photography or videography, we could use your skills, too!
