Volunteer!

Writer's picture: Anya TapleyAnya Tapley

CCRx hosts many volunteer groups and individuals. It is one of the most enjoyable parts of our mission! There are all sorts of tasks for volunteers -- find a sampling below and sign up!



Volunteers help us sort and organize donations -- like books, beads, fabric, tools, posters and...???


They help test things -- like pens, typewriters, calculators, cameras... and sometimes repair things!


Volunteers help us prep for workshops -- cutting vinyl for Recyclopouches, paper and pictures for Imagination Journals, stringing Peace Beads, and...?


Volunteers help reimagine and make creative reuse products and kits -- like Origami Boxes and Shape Robots.


Volunteers help with workshops and Make n Takes, working with teachers, Envision members, staff, and interns and the general public!


Volunteers help with markets, pickups and packups.


Group volunteer events are also fun --

The Honeycomb Project brings families to volunteer every month. We've also welcomed church groups corporate "team builders," sororities + fraternities, and groups of friends and families have come to spend their time volunteering with CCRx and getting their hands on some creative reuse projects!


Whether a regular volunteer or a one-timer, you make a BIG difference!


We have various types of volunteering opportunities for you to choose from:
