Volunteers will have a youth-led tour of More Than Words, participate in an icebreaker activity, and then work alongside youth on various tasks to support the daily operations such as pre-scanning and sorting donations. At the end we have a short close out discussion.

What you should know: Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing that they don't mind getting dirty. For safety it is strongly encouraged that volunteers wear close toed shoes, pants or long skirts. Space to secure valuables is limited, please keep personal belongings to a minimum. We can provide gloves/masks for any who need them to sort through donations! These jobs can be dusty, so be aware if you have dust sensitivity. NOTE: This event is wheelchair accessible and is able to accommodate volunteers with disabilities. If you require any accommodations, please let the event manager know, so we can work with the nonprofit hosting the event to make necessary accommodations. Thank you!

Mission Statement

One Brick provides support to local non-profit and community organizations by creating a unique, social and flexible volunteer environment for those interested in making a concrete difference in the community. We enable people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments.

Description

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, One Brick is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that brings volunteers together to support other local non-profits by adopting an innovative twist to the volunteer experience: we create a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering, and after each volunteer event -- which typically lasts only 3 to 4 hours -- we invite volunteers to gather at a local restaurant or caf where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting.

Our 'commitment-free volunteering' allows you to choose when you volunteer, rather than having to make commitments for a certain number of volunteer hours, or agree to be available every week at a specific time.
