Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill in the volunteer form on the co-op's website, pick the roles you like, and choose whether to get email or text updates..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Shopping needs no membership, so you can stop in at the store on South Juniper Street. The volunteer form asks for your name, email and an optional phone number, and the site does not say what a first shift looks like.
Tips for your first visit
- Email the address listed on the volunteer page with questions about a first shift.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Open to the public: anyone can shop, and the volunteer form is public, though the site does not describe a volunteer orientation..
