Make a difference by helping a fair-trade marketplace for underrepresented artisans and farmers from all over the world!
Join a diverse group of volunteers, interns and staff to: assist customers, ring up sales, check in orders, create visual displays, help host special events, and more. It's a great way to learn more about fair trade, fair trade handicrafts, cultures of the global south, and more. Our next volunteer orientation will take place on Tuesday, April 26, 6:30-7:30pm at our store on 682 N. High Street Columbus, OH 43215.
Message us if you have questions or if you're interested but can't make our scheduled orientation. We look forward to meeting you!
