ASSOCIATED RECREATION COUNCILFor 44 years, the Associated Recreation Council (ARC) has provided recreation, lifelong learning programs and community-driven leadership in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation. With a goal of providing equitable access to
citywide programs for Seattle residents of all ages, ARC works through 36 volunteer Advisory Councils to fulfill its mission of “building community through citizen engagement and participation in recreation and lifelong learning programs.” ARC is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. For more information, go to www.arcseattle.org.
YOUR ADVISORY COUNCILMost classes, workshops, sports and swim programs, special events and facility rentals are funded through the local advisory council, rather than from City of Seattle budgets. Revenues generated through program fees offset program costs to make these activities self-sustaining. We also rely on participation, donations, and contributions to maintain and upgrade equipment. Advisory council members create scholarship opportunities through grant writing and other fundraising activities.
JOIN US!Citizen direction and participation is essential to our success. Monthly meetings are held to talk about programs, policies, and financial issues. Our advisory councils always are looking for new members. If you would like to get involved, please contact the facility staff for further information.
