VOLUNTEER AT THE WASTESHED!

Our volunteers are what make our mission possible. Volunteering with us is a great way to build community with fellow crafts people, learn about new materials and processes, and to help reduce waste and build sustainability.

We welcome all volunteers 18+ and volunteers 14-17 years old with written permission from a legal guardian.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 AND WISH TO VOLUNTEER AT OUR EVANSTON LOCATION, YOU MUST EMAIL US TO SETUP AN INTERVIEW/ORIENTATION FIRST BEFORE SIGNING UP  

6/1/2025 policy update: Due to increased volunteer demand, we are temporarily asking that volunteers limit themselves to one in-store volunteer shift per week, per store. This means that volunteers can only sign up for one shift per week max at our Evanston location and one shift max per week max at our Humboldt location (2 shifts per week total). We are incredibly grateful to all the folks who want to volunteer at The Wasteshed and hope that this change will allow all volunteers a chance to sign up more easily as we head into Summer.

Masks are required for all volunteers.

Volunteers earn store credit at the rate of $1/hr.
