Get Involved

TAP-Seattle and national TACL are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations run entirely by volunteers. Board members and committees serve as primary event organizers and hosts. TAP-Seattle members can also help by hosting or assisting at events. Please inquire at info@tap-seattle.org for more details, to share ideas with the board, or if you see an event you’re excited to help run.

If you’d like to get involved, we welcome your talents and creativity! We hope volunteers find the freedom to practice their skills and connect with the local community. TAP-Seattle leadership positions and other committee positions may be available to help drive direction and operations.

If you are interested in any of these positions, please send us an application. We look forward to hearing from you!

Even if a position that you are interested in is filled, feel free to reach out to become part of a committee, to help with duties, or get involved with organizing and hosting events.
