Daytime Habitat ReStore Volunteer Leader Needed
HandsOn is recruiting a volunteer leader specifically for a recurring project we have with the Richmond Habitat ReStore.
Our Volunteer Leader program consists of a group of dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who we train to lead projects in the community with our partners for one year, exponentially increasing the reach of volunteerism in our region! You can make a difference by exploring a community need and leading others in service, all while learning new skills, getting access to special professional development opportunities, and interacting with fellow leaders in meetups and socials year round.
The project is leading once a month on Tuesdays for a 3 hour shift during the weekday (within the hours of 10am-5:30pm). Your volunteer leader term would be for one year, with the option to renew your term if you'd like at the end.
The project:
The Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity ReStore's work is integral to the mission of the organization, as profits raised from donated items there go directly to making the dream of homeownership a reality for their families. The volunteer leader will need to be organized and good at directing others who can sort and ready items to take the items from warehouse to the sales floor. Volunteers will work in the different departments throughout the warehouse and retail store with tasks like sorting, organizing, labeling, unpacking, merchandising, pricing, and helping customers take merchandise to their car. Some lifting may be required.
