The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is looking for individuals to help us make our metal recycling program a success. Our mission is to raise money for Habitat for Humanity by taking in donations of quality, new, and used building materials and selling them to the public at a low cost. For metal items that are not up to standard for resale, we can recycle these materials at the ReStore. By breaking down items into different types of metal categories, the value of scrap metal increases. With more funds being raised through the metal recycling program, more houses can be built and people can achieve their dream of affordable homeownership. This is a great opportunity for the ReStore to fulfill its mission, and we hope to find some dedicated volunteers who can help us make this successful. Opportunity Requirements: Be willing to make a commitment (one shift per week), as this program requires training and consistency No experience is needed! Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this opportunity COVID-19 Vaccination required (booster recommended, but not required) Interested in becoming a metal recycling expert? Email Bri at volunteer@habitatportlandregion.org.

Description: ReStore Treasure Hunters help staff sort through knick-knacks, novelties, and trinkets to find the hidden treasures within each donation. You never know what you will find! It could be a pair of binoculars, a vintage Scrabble board set, or the most beautiful stained-glass lamp you have ever seen. Don't miss out on finding these treasures for Supervisor:All ReStore staff members are responsible for overseeing the work of ReStore volunteers. However, the ReStore supervisors will direct most daily tasks with the support of ReStore volunteers. The manager, assistant manager, and volunteer coordinator will be responsible for formal performance management. Commitment:We ask that ReStore volunteers commit to at least two shifts per month. This helps the training process move along and also allows volunteers to work more independently after training. After accumulating 16 volunteer hours, you will receive a 25% discount on any treasures you find and want to keep! Requirements: - 14-15-year-olds can volunteer with an adult (21+) on-site - 16-17-year-olds can volunteer with a parent/guardian waiver - Must be fully vaccinated to participate (booster not required at this time) - Can be a physically demanding work environment (accommodations provided per request) We strive for a culture where people of every race, ethnicity, nationality, economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, size, and disability are welcomed, empowered, and celebrated.
