ReStore would like to extend the opportunity for students to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity Victoria at our ReStores. They have two locations – Victoria ReStore at 721 Vanalman Avenue, and Westshore ReStore at 849 Orono Avenue. Both stores support Habitat Victoria directly – helping to raise funds for our mission to help local working families achieve affordable homeownership right here in our local communities.
They welcome student volunteers looking to add to their resume – either to complete their CLC and CLE hours or to gather work experience. The ReStores is open Monday to Saturday – Student volunteer shifts are 2-4 hours between 9:00am – 5:00pm. Students are welcome to request specific shifts and we can be very flexible for the most part. More specifics on this can be discussed at time of application. They do ask that students commit to their full 30 hours with us, on the job training is provided, and anyone under 19 years must have parent/guardian permission. 16+ only. Volunteers must be able to work independently, follow direction, and also collaborate with employees and other volunteers.
ReStore volunteer duties can include, but are not limited to:
- Receiving and sorting donations
- Cleaning and tagging donations
- Merchandising the store floor
- Keeping the store clean and tidy
- Moving furniture and merchandise
- Assisting customers
