Volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages in St. Paul, MN

We recognize the value of our volunteers in providing outstanding support to our paid staff, tremendous customer service, and a network of fair trade activism in the metro community. We've grown the program to 150 active volunteers and they've helped us grow our sales-requiring us to recruit more volunteers.

This year we've expanded our commitment to our volunteer base with these program enhancements:

  • An increase in management staffing dedicated to the volunteer segment of our operations.
  • A through training to give our volunteer the tool they need to educate our customers about our mission, the artisans we work with and fair trade.
  • Generous incentives (we know it's not your primary motivation, but it doesn't hurt)
