Imagine you are a teenager who has only the clothes on their backs. Now imagine you are getting help from an organization, and are invited into a room full of clothes to take whatever you need. How would you feel if that room was in complete disarray, with piles of clothes on the floor, nothing organized by size, and half of what is available is pleated corduroys? Now, imagine how you would feel if the room is neatly organized, with a wide array of styles to choose from, with your sizes easy to find. Which room would YOU want to use?
If the idea of sorting and organizaing oodles and oodles of clothing, art supplies, games, books, movies, and more gets you all kinds of excited, then this position is for you! Assist Cocoon House staff with cleaning and organizing our donation rooms. The upkeep of our donation rooms is important to the youth we serve because it helps us to quickly find what we have and it helps us assess other items that we may need.
This position would:
- Sort through incoming donations and place them in the appropriate location
- Help to maintain the organization of the rooms
- Go through old items and place them in bags to re-donate
- Occasionally help staff by bring old donation items to other agencies to re-donate them.

Mission Statement
The mission of Cocoon House is to empower young people, families, and the community to break the cycle of homelessness through outreach, housing and prevention.
Description
Cocoon House has built, innovated and adapted programs to benefit homeless, at-risk, and disconnected young people in Snohomish County. Opening in 1991 as an 8 bed emergency shelter, Cocoon House quickly grew to include long term housing, street outreach and a nationally recognized prevention program that focuses on parents building their family management skills. These programs work together to address teen homelessness from all angles ensuring the best possible outcomes for young people as they transition into more successful futures.
Cocoon House is strongly committed to removing barriers and supporting inclusion and diversity in all its forms. We strive to create a safe and open atmosphere for young people, families, staff, board members, community partners and funders. We learn from the diverse individuals we work with and embrace their unique attributes to ensure we fulfill our agency mission and core values.
