Join Our Growing Team

Why work at Skyway Coalition?

We’re here to make a difference. At Skyway Coalition, we spend half our time dreaming up ways to work alongside our Black, Indigenous, and people of color neighbors, and the other half turning those dreams into action.

As a nonprofit, we tackle the historic lack of investment and inequities in our unincorporated Skyway community. Together, we focus on equitable development driven by community needs for advocacy, affordable housing, and economic growth.

Our strong partnerships with residents, community groups, elected officials, and agencies bring investments and policies that preserve and uplift our Skyway community.

Thanks to community advocacy, we've secured over $15 million for affordable housing in Skyway, $10 million for a community center, $5 million for economic growth, and $2 million for infrastructure investment. We also help shape King County's Skyway Comprehensive Planning.

As a growing grassroots organization, we offer the opportunity to work closely with a small, mission-driven team during an important stage of organizational development. Team members should be comfortable working in an evolving environment and approach challenges with curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn and grow alongside the organization.
