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 through a large and colorful donation of paint! We’ll be organizing it by type, craft paint, house paint, oil-based, and more. Then doing a quick test to make sure it’s still good before we price it. This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone interested in paint as a creative medium or who just loves getting hands-on with organizing. As always, our volunteers get first pick at the items being processed. This group is best suited for volunteers aged 16 and up, and we recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Come join the fun and help us get this paint ready for its next home! Sign up here.
