Opportunity Details
Be an Event Volunteer at the Redress Sort-a-thon
Description:
The environmental charity Redress will be running a sorting marathon called Sort-A-Thon with the aim of sorting through all the clothing collected in the Get Redressed Clothing Drive. Volunteers will be needed to set up for the event and help sort through the collected clothing to categorize it for resale, up-cycling, recycling or reused by our 20+ local charity partners, depending on the type and quality of the clothing.
What you will do:
1) Replenish clothes on sorting tables from the clothing mountain
2) Support the sorting process by cross-checking clothes that are going to the right category
3) Provide support to participants regarding sorting-related questions.
Remarks:
1. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.
2. Please dress casually with closed-toe shoes and bring your own bottle of water.
3. Redress staff may take photos to record the activity for the purpose of sharing and promoting the charity's work. Please inform a staff member on-site if you are uncomfortable with being photographed.
4. Please make sure to dress all black, easier to recognise your role
Due to the specific nature of these tasks,we'll ask all volunteers signing up for Sort-A-Thon event days (June 12-14) to also join a training session on May 16th afternoon (details will be sent by email). During the training, we'll teach you how the sorting is done so you can support others during the event.
**Please note that we do not accept group or company volunteers
Age Minimum (with Adult): 18+, Minimum Age:18+
