Volunteer Spotlight: Kei Y.

 For this month’s Volunteer Spotlight, we are highlighting our first, ever Online Store Intern, Kei Y.! Kei is working closely with our Online Store Coordinator, Bianca, to learn valuable skills that will help her grow professionally and beyond. Kei is currently a high school student but already has experience selling secondhand clothing online. This seemed like a natural fit to grow her inventory management, back end administration, and order fulfillment knowledge and skills. We're very excited to have Kei on board this summer and hope that she is the first of many Online Store Interns! What motivates you to volunteer, and why ACR?I’m looking to gain some experience in working for businesses so that I can put it on a future resume! I chose ACR because this store stands for things I am very passionate about and I love how the staff and everyone who volunteers here are very accepting, kind and share many of the same interests as I do. Are you more into the arts aspect of ACR or the conservation aspect and why?Both! I love art and especially reusing things to create art, so this is the perfect place for me. Where else have you/do you volunteer?I used to volunteer at the Austin Parks Foundation with my mom, but since Covid started I haven’t been doing much of that. What do you enjoy the most out of volunteering for ACR?I really like helping the people that work there, because I know it gets difficult at times. And also being able to pick out items I like before they go to the shop :)   Do you have any interesting or funny stories about something that happened while you were volunteering at ACR?Not yet, but I hope to have some funny memories soon! 🥳
