| Description |
Clothing Room Volunteers support the day-to-day operation of our Clothing Room by welcoming families and donors, sorting and organizing clothing donations, restocking inventory, and helping maintain a clean and respectful environment for single-parent families accessing support. Volunteers assist during Clothing Room visits and help ensure organizational guidelines and item limits are followed consistently and fairly for all members. We are looking for dependable, community-minded individuals who are comfortable working independently after training, maintaining professional boundaries, interacting respectfully with families and donors, and committing to regular weekly shifts. This is an on-site volunteer position requiring a minimum commitment of one shift per week. Applicants must be 25+, able to lift large bags of clothing donations, and willing to complete a criminal record and reference check. |
| Training Details |
Selected volunteers will participate in an initial 1–3 shift trial/training period to become familiar with the Clothing Room environment, organizational expectations, and day-to-day responsibilities. During this period, volunteers will receive hands-on guidance from staff and be introduced to Clothing Room procedures, boundaries, and member support practices. Volunteers who successfully complete the trial period and are accepted into an ongoing role will then complete additional volunteer orientation and training materials, including organizational policies, procedures, and role-specific guidelines. |
| Working Conditions | This is an active, on-site volunteer role in a busy community-based environment. Volunteers will spend shifts standing, sorting donations, organizing clothing racks, interacting with families and donors, and maintaining the Clothing Room space. The role requires the ability to lift and move large garbage bag-sized clothing donations and work independently after training. Volunteers may occasionally encounter emotionally sensitive situations and are expected to maintain professional boundaries and communicate concerns to staff promptly. |
