Ten Thousand Villages, a Fair Trade non-profit retailer, is seeking motivated volunteers to engage with customers and share the Ten Thousand Villages mission; help them find what they are looking for and make their purchases.
Ten Thousand Villages is more than a store. We're a global maker‑to‑market movement that breaks the cycle of generational poverty and ignites social change. We're a way to shop with intention for ethically-sourced wares. As a pioneer of fair trade, we do business differently, putting people and planet first. That means you can trust that every handmade purchase and donation made directly impacts the life and community of its maker in a developing country.
Why volunteer with Ten Thousand Villages? Here are some of the benefits:
- Knowledge that you are helping artisans around the world
- 20% volunteer discount
- Flexible scheduling (3 hour shifts that you choose)
- Quality training and education opportunities
- Laid-back atmosphere and friendly team
Please RSVP at volunteer.pasadena@tenthousandvillages.com
Give your time by volunteering and advocate for artisans around the world.

About Ten Thousand Villages Pasadena
Location:
567 S LAKE AVE, PASADENA, CA 91101, US
Mission Statement
Ten Thousand Villages in Pasadena, CA, is a fair trade retailer of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe. Featuring products from more than 130 artisan groups in some 38 countries, we are part of a network of over 390 retail outlets throughout the United States selling Ten Thousand Villages products.
Description
As one of the world’s oldest and largest fair trade organizations, Ten Thousand Villages has spent more than 75 years cultivating trading relationships in which artisans receive a fair price for their work and consumers have access to distinctive handcrafted items. We seek to establish long-term buying relationships in places where skilled artisans are under- or unemployed, and in which they lack other opportunities for income. A founding member of IFAT- the World Fair Trade Organization, Ten Thousand Villages sees fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional international trade.
