Work parties are affected by inclement weather and vegetation growth. Project descriptions are broad because we don’t know the exact work needed until closer to the date. If you have questions about a specific work party, or want to learn more about volunteer opportunities, please reach out to Taylor Schmuki at

Connect & Thrive Youth Mentoring Program
Connect & Thrive Youth Mentoring Program, an Oak Harbor based nonprofit that serves Island County youth ages 12–17, is seeking volunteers in Oak Harbor and the surrounding community act as Quest Guides.
Quest Guides walk alongside a young person through a structured, year-long curriculum organized around 8 Pillars of Wellness — physical, emotional, social, financial, environmental, intellectual, spiritual, and occupational. This gives mentors a clear structured roadmap that is manageable, typically a few hours per month.
Mentor recruitment is underway now, with the program launching in September 2026.
For more information, contact Constance Mollerstuen, Executive Director at (360)929-2483, via email at
info@positivelylinked.org. Information is also available on their website at
