Volunteer Orientation @ STL

Come join us for our monthly Volunteer Orientation, where you'll gain new skills, learn about our organization, and meet other volunteers! This is a great opportunity to learn more about how you can get involved with the community and help out at the Shoreline Tool Library. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer, you haven’t been back in a while, or you’re brand new, everyone is welcome! We’ll cover everything you need to know about Seattle REconomy’s history and mission, and our community will welcome you to become a part of it. We’ll also go over all of the different ways to volunteer, from Front Desk to Bike Shack, beautification to steering committees, inventory, teaching, fixing tools, outreach, and more! If you’d like to take your first step to supporting this economy of reuse, sign up below and we’ll see you there! If you want to study ahead, check out seattlereconomy.org/volunteer, to find details about all our current opportunities to get involved. Perks of being a Seattle REconomy tool library volunteer?
