Leadership Eastside has joined the campus of Together Center, a one-stop human services campus serving East King County.

Leadership Eastside applies advanced leadership principles to help people work together while increasing their value to their organizations and their community.

“We’re thrilled to be located with the human services agencies at the Together Center,” said LE President James Whitfield. “We’re confident that this location will help us enhance our efforts to increase collaboration among public, private, and non-profit leaders.”

Leadership Eastside joins a list of agencies that have joined the campus with the exit last year of Hopelink, which outgrew its space. They include Lake Washington School District Transition Academy, Apprisen Financial Advocates, and Learning Disabilities Association of Washington. National Alliance for Mental Illness Eastside and Habitat for Humanity of East King County both moved into larger and improved quarters on campus. Friends of Youth is currently renovating the former food bank area for their homeless youth services.

“While Leadership Eastside is not a human service provider, as are most of the tenant agencies that support our mission, we believe that the campus, our agencies and community leaders will benefit from Together Center’s partnership with Leadership Eastside,” said Together Center’s Executive Director Pam Mauk.

One of the first nonprofit multi-tenant centers in the nation, Together Center (formerly, Family Resource Center) was designed to lower barriers to finding help. Where East King County residents once needed to travel from Bothell to Renton or beyond to find help at individual locations, people from throughout the Eastside now find comprehensive assistance at one location in downtown Redmond.

One additional suite is currently is available, with additional openings at year-end.
