Seattle Seahawks Youth Empowerment

In partnership with Symetra and the Boys & Girls Club of King County the Seahawks are working to engage youth and teens through interactive leadership programming and opportunities to empower their peers and communities.

One Love Foundation is a national non-profit organization with the goal of ending relationship abuse. The organization empowers young people with the tools and resources they need to see the signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships and bring life-saving prevention education to their communities. One Love believes understanding and identifying the signs of unhealthy behaviors before they become abuse is critical to changing the statistics around relationship abuse. Thanks to the Seahawks and Seahawks Women's Association, One Love has established a major presence in the PNW enabling thousands of young people access this critical education.

You can show your Seahawks pride and support students across the state by ordering Seattle Seahawks specialty license plates for your vehicles. Seahawks specialty license plates benefit InvestED and the Washington World Fellows program. InvestED is a nonprofit that provides immediate help for middle and high school students in 660 schools throughout Washington State with small amounts of item-specific, need-based funding. The Washington World Fellows program awards equity-based scholarships to high school youth for summer study in Spain. $28 for every Seahawks license plate sold or renewed goes to one of these two great charities.

The Seahawks have teamed up with Seattle Public Schools to support and empower WHOLE Mentoring (With Hope Our Lives Excel), a program under the office of African American Male Achievement. This program is committed to integrating intentional care strategies that promote the authenticity of Black male students, designed to empower their identity ("WHO") through affirming their Black excellence so they are academically, social-emotionally, physically, and college/career strong. The Seahawks have and will continually support the program by assisting in providing impactful opportunities, connections, and experiences to the students.
