Crafternoon Concierge

SCRAP Creative Reuse is a local creative reuse center seeking creative volunteers to help us out with our crafternoons! A crafternoon is a crafty event with a theme. Each week is a different adventure. Our concierge would be responsible for checking in our crafters, helping with basic instructions on pre-prepared crafts, and answering customer questions during the event. A staff member will always be available to assist the concierge when needed, and you will be instructed on the craft before participants arrive. Crafternoons are typically on Saturday from 2pm-4pm, so we are looking for a person to be available from 1:30-4:30 for 1-3 days per month. You would not need to commit to every week, we are looking for 2-3 people to fill this role for flexibility with scheduling. If this sounds like you, please let us know!
