Shared Spaces Foundation

works to create community facilities for people to gather, learn and grow together.

About Us

Shared Spaces Foundation was conceived in 2019 by a group of involved community members in Seattle, Washington. They worked to create facilities providing resources to under-served community members and teach trade skills to help individuals feel empowered. Through ties in multiple locations around the world, Shared Spaces plans to focus on land reparations, offering assistance in community use and stewardship.

Shared Spaces focuses on restoring the land back to a healthy state and inhibiting future development. Through the process of healing the land, we can recreate a community to imagine together through sharing skills and knowledge. Shared Spaces will focus on building low impact recycled structures for outdoor classes and events. They will assist in stewarding the land and work to rewind the impact of industrial pollution effects. While working with other community organizations, Shared Spaces strives to create safe community locations to bring people together through education. 

What We Do

Current Projects:

  • The Heron’s Nest Outdoor Education Center: 3.56 acres of land that provides safe outdoor facilities allowing space for people of the community to come together, share, learn and grow. Shared Spaces Foundation is raising funds to purchase the land in order to steward and repatriate it to The Duwamish Tribe.

  • Sustainable Education: In addition to developing workshops to benefit the local community on the land, we also educate community on the water. Teaching them about the ecology of the Duwamish River and removing trash from it’s waters.
