Are you a Thrifter? Do you love fashion and decorating? If you have 8-10 hours a week and want to give back to the community while having fun, learning or using retail, management and customer service skills, the Norwood Life Society Thrift Shop is interested in you. We have a volunteer opportunity for a Co-Manager of our beautiful Thrift Shop on the northwest side of Chicago. Assisting the director of volunteers and working closely with our current Co-Manager, help us continue our success. The Shop is open Mon thru Sat, 10-3 and there is considerable flexibility to serve across multiple days and at a convenient time for you. Collaborate with co-manager and volunteer director to supervise and mentor other volunteers as they sort & price, merchandise and assist customers.
The Thrift Shop has been a part of the fabric of the Norwood Park community for over 25 years. People know our shop as a place to get great bargains and strike up new friendships. Our volunteers have fun and help us generate as much revenue as possible. Proceeds from the sale of donations support the very best in senior services and enhance the independence and well-being of older adults.

Mission Statement
At nor •VOL• ution we are mission-driven and our vision is an important part of that. We are sponsored by Norwood Life Society; a 501c(3) organization dedicated to enhancing the independence and well-being of older adults. Part of that enhancement is providing meaninful volunteer experiences for all members of our community; with a focus on creating or providing volunteer opportunities specifically for older adults who are looking to give back.
Mission: The purpose of the new organization is to enrich the lives of members of the Norwood Life Society community including the seniors we serve, our volunteers, the staff, and the community at large.
Vision: Our vision is to grow and strengthen our volunteer efforts to: 1) provide more services to our senior clientele, 2) enhance the lives of our volunteers, particularly mature adults, and 3) be of service to the broader community.
Values Statement: We are committed and passionate about the work we do. We respect the personal contribution of each individual and honor the impact they make. We respect our neighbors and work with them to improve the community in which we all reside. We value volunteers for the friendly, caring spirit that has characterized this organization for over 100 years.
Description
Volunteers are welcomed and appreciated by all aspects of our organization. Volunteer opportunities are available in the following places:
Norwood Crossing--This is our assisted living, skilled nursing and sheltered care residence where volunteers provide necessary services and create relationships with our senior adult residents.
Norwood Seniors Network--This is our community outreach affiliate which provides everything from meals-on-wheels to nurse practitioner visits for older adults who prefer to age in their own homes.
Norwood Park Senior Center--We were recently awarded the privilege of co-operating (along with the City of Chicago) a new senior center in our neighborhood. The Senior Center provides a great community meeting spot for older adults in the Norwood Park neighborhood. In addition, clients and guests have access to exercise equipment, food, and beautiful views of the park.
