We're recruiting volunteers for our gift store in downtown Santa Cruz! The store provides a large amount of funding for our program, enabling us to fund the training program for those who are experiencing homelessness. Volunteers are essential for greeting customers in the store and helping them understand our project and the many products we make.
Our store is almost entirely volunteer run, so that the profit we make goes directly toward supporting our programs and folks transitioning out of homelessness.
We have customer service shifts from 11am - 2pm, 2pm - 5pm, Wednesday through Sunday. A quick orientation is required before volunteering. Thank you for your support!
