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.

Come help us sort and price some of our specialty fabrics! We’ll be digging into bins full of silk, faux fur and other unique textiles. Once we sort everything, we’ll measure and price it for resale. Don’t worry if you’re not a fabric expert, we’ll teach you everything you need to know to process these materials with confidence. It’s a great way to learn something new while helping out! As always, volunteers get first dibs on the fabric being sorted. This opportunity is best for volunteers aged 16 and up. Sign up here.
