If so, becoming a station support volunteer may be right for you!
A Station Support volunteer is responsible for aiding the Group Volunteer Leader or other staff member at a volunteer station during a volunteer shift. The Station Support Champion position requires at least 1 month of prior service as a Champion volunteer and will require training by Cradles to Crayons staff. This position may include these responsibilities:
- Answering volunteer questions
- Getting station supplies during the shift
- Helping to change and replace red barrel bags (items that do not meet quality standards that will be recycled with Chicago Textile Recycling). This requires bending, lifting bags of up to 20 pounds, and placing them into a designated bin.
- Helping the staff member to reset the station at the end of the shift.
This is a regular volunteer position that commits to once weekly or twice monthly volunteering at the same day and time. In order to become a regular volunteer, you will need to complete 3 standard volunteer shifts first. If you indicate interest via Idealist, we will contact you with next steps to get started.
