- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Clever Octopus finally has a home, and we need your help to relocate our storage warehouse close to the shop. Tasks for this day will include loading and unloading art supplies, setting up shelves, sorting materials by category, and generally being awesome.
Things to know:
Wear closed toed shoes. There's heavy stuff, pokey stuff, and stuff you don't want on your toes.
Wear layers. It has been quite chilly in the mornings, but as you get moving, you'll get warmer.
Bring a water bottle. It's important to stay hydrated.
Bring gloves. Again with the heavy and/or pokey stuff.
We have big vehicles queued for the move. If you have a truck and want to use it, that's awesome and appreciated and welcomed, but definitely not required.
This opportunity is not appropriate for young children; motivated volunteers age 13+ are welcome with a parent.
We will send details about parking and where to meet closer to moving day. Thank you for volunteering!

Mission Statement
Clever Octopus Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering creativity and environmental awareness through art, science, technology, engineering, and math. Our multitentacled approach includes the Clever Octopus Creative Reuse Center and the Octopod mobile outreach vehicle.
Description
The Clever Octopus Creative Reuse Center is a retail shop for high-quality art materials and industrial offcuts donated to us by local businesses, companies, industries, labs, and the public. We leverage the value of resources originally fated for the landfill and donate or resell these materials at affordable prices back to the community to creatively reimagine the purpose and value of these goods. In addition to offering a warehouse wonderland, we also design curricula and hands-on kits through our youth and adult education services featuring reclaimed craft supplies from our shop.
The Octopod mobile outreach vehicle is a fully equipped mobile classroom, stocked with a plethora of materials for creative exploration and staffed by Clever Octopus’ artists. The Octopod will host classes throughout the Salt Lake Valley and beyond when it visits schools, adult care facilities, residential treatment centers, community outreach programs, community festivals, and private events.
