A Little Something is a crafts cooperative for refugee women that fosters self-sufficiency through creating and selling homemade crafts. Our website is www.refugeecrafts.org and our Instagram is @alittlesomethingdenver. You can watch a video about our work here: https://youtu.be/gUnXkTL_tJs
To support our cause, A Little Something relies on friendly, outgoing volunteers to make our sales happen!
We need volunteers to represent us at events from November 1 through December 16, 2019.
For every event listed here, we also need help with setting up the display (usually the day/evening before) and packing up at the end of the event. If you're only available for part of a day, we can probably make that work. We especially need help with the sale in Evergreen. It's our biggest event of the year, but so far, we have no one willing to take this one on or even to get our items up to or back from Evergreen.
What you would do:
Volunteers greet customers, share our mission and product knowledge, and complete sales transactions at various craft and fair trade events around Denver. We are looking for volunteers who are able to volunteer for an entire day or just a shift at these events.
Duties may include:
Transporting, setting up or breaking down the sales display
Keeping the sales display stocked and attractively arranged
Handling cash/check/card sales
Sharing our story with customers.
Volunteers often work in teams at events.
Volunteers are passionate about our mission to empower Denver's refugee women through this local income generation craft project and share this knowledge of refugees and refugee participants' stories with customers. The service of our volunteers enables A Little Something to further its work to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Denver's refugee artisans.
If you can help us out or if you have questions, please send an email to refugeecrafts@gmail.com.
