We recognize that community-based organizations can be the most effective messengers and sources of support for those who may need help with unemployment benefits and other resources we provide. That’s why we deeply value opportunities to partner with these trusted resources.
For example, with federal and state funding available from 2024 through June 2026, Employment Security engaged 9 community-based organizations in Washington to help members of their communities access and navigate unemployment benefits. We greatly appreciate the commitment and reach of the organizations who participated in the UI Navigator program:
- Chinese Information and Service Center
- Drivers Union
- Korean Community Service Center
- La Oficina
- Native Action Network
- Neighborhood House
- People for People
- TRAC Associates
- Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO
We continue to welcome the opportunity to work with organizations who share our vision to ensure everyone in Washington has full access to resources they need to flourish and achieve their full potential.
