We are a locally operated fair trade, non-profit. We thrive on being a volunteer run retail store that sells beautiful fairly traded crafts made by artisans who live in developing countries. We are looking for Volunteer Sales Associates to help customers on the floor, ring up sales, check in and stock merchandise. We ask for a minimum six month commitment of 2 to 3 shifts per month. This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to learn more about the fair trade, those wanting to gain retail experience, and simply a fabulous way to interact with our community.

Mission Statement
Ten Thousand Villages' mission is to create opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to our markets through long-term fair trading relationships.
Description
Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit volunteer operated retail store that sells fairly traded crafts that are handcrafted by artisans in developing countries.
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.
