Global Village Gifts is a not-for-profit retail store featuring Fair Trade certified merchandise produced by artisans and farmers around the world. Our mission is two-fold: we educate the local public on the principles of Fair Trade, and we support artisans through the employment opportunities offered by Fair Trade.
The success of Global Village Gifts depends on the dedication and enthusiasm of our volunteers. We are eager to recruit individuals committed to the concept of Fair Trade and to the general mission of our operation. We are looking for volunteers who are comfortable talking to our customers about our mission and who are willing to learn about our products and our artisans. Because of the time that we invest in training our volunteers, we ask for a year commitment.
Volunteers are expected to interact with customers on the sales floor and at the register, ring-up and package sales, assist with product merchandising and educate our local community on the benefits of Fair Trade. Minimum requirements are two 3-hour shifts per month. If this is something you are interested, please reach out to us today!

Mission Statement
Global Village Gifts is a not-for-profit retail store featuring fairly traded handcrafts produced by artisans and farmers around the world. Our mission is two-fold: We educate the local public on the principles of Fair Trade, and we support artisans through the employment opportunities offered by Fair Trade.
Description
As a member of Fair Trade Federation, Global Village Gifts is committed to paying artisans in third-world countries a fair price for the products they make. Our goal is to help these artisans provide for their families and improve their future rather than endure unemployment and substandard living conditions. While most for-profit corporations purchase merchandise at the lowest possible price at the expense of the artisan, fair trade organizations work to further the economic success of producers in developing countries.
