Learn More About Joining Our Community
Seattle Shapers acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the Coast Salish people, including the Duwamish People past and present.
We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. This acknowledgment doesn’t take the place of
authentic relationships with indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we are on.
See how Seattle Shapers is taking this land acknowledgment to the next level with the Shared Spaces Foundation.
The Seattle Hub of Global Shapers is a diverse group of change-making Seattleites who are passionate about improving the world, instigating change, innovating, and taking risks. We collaborate with local communities, local organizations, and other Global Shaper hubs around the world to address local and global issues we care about to create a positive impact.
If you are under 28 and want to take action on local or global issues, apply to join our hub!🌎

Our mission is to create an environment that provides and promotes healthier and safer food options to students. Healthy and balanced meals through influence of locally immigrant-owned restaurants are essential to early development and long-term wellbeing and can be scaled up through educational outlets specialized for workshop lessons around sustainable food options and security awareness.
The Heron's Nest Project
The Heron's Nest Project
We committed to putting our organization’s land acknowledgment into action by working to return land to the Duwamish people. To honor that commitment, Seattle Shapers supported the Shared Spaces Foundation in reaching their fundraising goal for the Heron’s Nest Project through marketing and outreach activities. The Heron's Nest is aimed at preserving land for community use and repatriating it to the Duwamish people. We helped raise ~1 million dollar for this initiative. Read more about the project here.
