Sustainable Seattle, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Reports to: Board of Directors
About S2:
Sustainable Seattle (S2) advances collaborative, just, and sustainable solutions for our region. Sustainable Seattle currently has three main programs: 1) Interweave, an interdisciplinary community-led sustainability accelerator comprised of frontline-led peers, practitioners, and projects that share our vision of justice-centered sustainability. 2) The Soil Health and Justice Initiative (SHJI), which builds community understanding of sustainability issues while base-building to strengthen human, social, political, and organizational capital to fuel strategic, effective grassroots advocacy. 3) The Just Circular Communities Initiative, a collaboration between community-led, co-developed, owned, and managed circular economy framework that reduces waste and pollution, regenerates ecosystems, prevents systemic displacement and economic stagnation, and builds resilience in Frontline neighborhoods. S2 also provides stand-alone fiscal sponsorship in select cases.
We define sustainability as the ancient and enduring practice of creating richness in natural resources, attuning to nature’s environmental indicators, and providing equitable access to health, food, shelter, and economic wealth for all people. This has been modeled largely by Indigenous communities world-wide, and which we work to align with, and restore.
