Unpack a hand drum from India. Learn about Fair Trade. Show a child where Kenya is on the map. Transport recyclables to the recycling center. Restock the store of handicrafts. This is a just a sampling of the different types of activities undertaken by Ten Thousand Villages volunteers.
Volunteers work on a wide variety of activities, from learning and sharing artisan stories with customers to ringing up handicraft sales and wrapping them for safe travel.
Volunteers help pack for upcoming offsites, prepare the event space, transport necessary items, work the actual sale, return product and help in many other aspects. Offsites are fun, flexible and a great way to work directly within the community, sharing the mission of Fair Trade one step further.
We are always looking for volunteers to run our equipment each week! We have games on Wednesday and Friday nights (Adult League) and Saturday mornings (Youth League), so there is always a place to serve!
