Get to know us
Our mission
Evergreen Hearts empowers people who practice non-traditional relationship styles to build community and grow relationship skills through social functions, educational events, and learning resources.
About Us
Evergreen Hearts is an all volunteer local non-profit to support the community of the Puget Sound region. Organizers from several different community groups came together to form the diverse board to focus Evergreen Hearts on events that are larger than one community group can launch.
Our goal is to support polyamorous people in our community by providing access to ways of connecting and learning. We do not consider ourselves an authority in polyamory but through social activities, educational events, and learning tools, aim to empower those in non-traditional relationships to develop community and grow relationship skills.
Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
Evergreen Hearts events are spaces where all are welcome and we actively seek diverse representation in attendees.
We believe in the beauty of diversity and the strength it brings to our community. Our commitment to inclusivity is at the core of everything we do. Our community is a tapestry of diverse genders, sexual orientations, races, ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds, each adding unique threads to the rich fabric of our collective experience. As such, we proudly welcome all individuals from all walks of life to our events, and we remain committed to celebrating the myriad ways and experiences in which people form love and connection.
We recognize that inclusivity is an ongoing journey, one that requires continuous learning, listening, adaptation, and exploration. We are (and always will be) actively engaged in seeking and incorporating feedback from our community. Your experiences and perspectives are vital to our growth and our ability to foster true inclusivity. We encourage open dialogue and constructive feedback as we navigate the complexities of diversity and strive to create an environment where every voice is heard and valued, and where everyone has equitable access to opportunities and resources. We aim to foster a safe, respectful, and welcoming space where all forms of love and connection can thrive.
Our board members, organizers, and volunteers represent different races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. Board members utilize meetup and facebook events, found on our events page, to specifically support diverse groups.
Our team
Members on the all volunteer team of Evergreen Hearts are knowledgeable people who care about community organization and lifelong learning. Our team comprises talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, ranging from small business owners to corporate professionals, biologists to tech experts. However, the reality is that members of the polyamorous community often face personal and professional discrimination. By providing a secure environment that safeguards their identities, we empower our team to continue their invaluable contributions to the polyamorous community and beyond.
