Use your creativity to contribute to self-determination and economic development by and for the African community! We're a perfect fit for budding artists & graphic design volunteers looking to build their portfolio while supporting a great cause.

Volunteers will edit pictures of our new inventory to remove the background - this lets our customers see the furniture front and center! We are able to provide basic training to volunteers on the skills required. Visit uhurufurniturephilly.blogspot.com to see examples of the finished work.

We receive new inventory every few hours and post new pictures to our blog Tuesday through Sunday, so volunteer scheduling is flexible. This is a great way to get community service hours while having some fun!

We prefer working with volunteers local to the greater Philadelphia area.
