Come join the Arts & Scraps Community Store with one of our Sorting Residency's. This opportunity is perfect for all creative types, teachers, and anyone who enjoys organizing and building communtiy.
Everyday we get over 200 pounds of donated goods that we sort and organize into our community store. These items can be anything from fabric, yarn, paints, rubber stamps to tile samples, film rolls, cake toppers and motherboards. We need your help sorting all these items, and growing the community store.
We are looking for the right people to be a part of our VIP Volunteer team. You will not only learn the ins and outs of our community store through sorting, but you will also become a vital part of community building on behalf of Arts & Scraps. Working with our wide customers demographic we help build creative ideas and inspire others. Sign making, sample projects, helping children learn STEM lessons and building a friendly community space are all part of the job.
We are scheduling month long residency's with the option of a permanent residency after review.
What makes the Arts & Scraps store such an amazing place? Our community, come be a part of it.
