Summer of Service is back, hurrah! We will be adding some additional volunteering opportunities throughout the summer to give all our new volunteers more ways to participate. Check out the details of each event to see what we will be processing! 

These are indoor and seated events located at Austin Creative Reuse in Windsor Park. You will be helping out in a room that can be a bit warm in the summer, so we suggest you keep this in mind when dressing for the event.

Austin Creative Reuse is a Austin based non-profit that aims to foster conservation, education, and community building through the creative reuse of old items and the reuse of creative items! We take in ~50,000 lbs. of donations every month and we rely on volunteers to help us process all those donations! Most items we resell at our center at very accessible price points, but we also donate supplies to schools, and attend community events to teach our youngest generations about creative reuse.

For this event, we will be sorting bins of writing instruments into different categories. Once they have all been sorted, we will test the markers and pens to see which ones still work and which ones do not. This is a great project for the whole family to participate in! However, we do request anyone under the age of 14 is accompanied by an adult. Thank you! Sign up here.
