Community Volunteering: Ops Squad

Join us for hands-on, high-impact volunteer sessions designed to help keep ACR running smoothly, safely, and creatively. Each session focuses on a rotating mix of projects based on our current needs. That might include deep cleaning and organizing different areas of the center, tidying up outdoor spaces, improving storage systems, or collaborating on creative projects like signage for our thrift store. No two sessions are exactly the same, but every session plays an important role in supporting our organization.

These volunteer sessions are ideal for folks who enjoy staying busy, working collaboratively, and seeing the immediate impact of their efforts. Volunteers should be prepared for a productive, fast-paced 2–3 hours. Dress in clothes you can get messy, wear comfortable shoes and bring a refillable water bottle. All sessions are led by ACR’s Center Operations Manager. 

At ACR, we’re always evolving and finding new ways to improve our space and better serve our community. These sessions are a chance to be part of that ongoing process, helping us maintain a welcoming, functional, and inspiring environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

Must be 15 years old or accompanied by an adult to volunteer. 

Please bring a refillable water bottle.
