We have a wide variety of volunteer opportunities here at the Albany Ten Thousand Villages store including, (but definitely NOT limited to) unpacking shipments, pricing merchandise, providing customer service on the sales floor, data entry, jewelry repair, handyman jobs, and manning special community events. Whether you have availability through the week or on the weekends, we could use your time and love for all things fairly traded morning, noon, or night! We're flexible with the amount of hours you can give as well. Don't see a job you're suited for but have other ideas on how we can benefit from your expertise? We're open to suggestions and look forward to hearing more.

Mission Statement
As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 60 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income. A founding member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.
