Volunteer with Lifelong Thrift

There are a variety of ways that volunteers help us in the store such as running the dressing rooms, organizing items, sorting clothes, and greeting customers.

​Lifelong Thrift is a great opportunity to get experience in retail and customer service, and an awesome addition to your resume, especially for those interested in pursuing other opportunities in the resale industry. Need to complete hours for service learning credits or community service? We can help! Let us help you get the most out of your volunteer experience! We appreciate your contribution to Lifelong.

What You’ll Experience
  • Ensure a great experience for customers and help them get the most out of their time shopping with us.
  • Tend to the dressing rooms - you can even be the person they ask to help them make style decisions if they need a second opinion.
  • Learn about how to maintain a beautiful sales floor and visually merchandise new products.
  • Get experience in the resale business, sorting and evaluating the condition of products.
What Makes a Great Volunteer
  • They are punctual and reliable and love to work as part of the team.
  • They are comfortable working with people of varying socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and racial diversity in our positive and inclusive environment.
  • They are comfortable with a variety of work. Many tasks involve standing or walking around the store, and some moderate lifting (less than 40 lbs). Additionally, there is one flight of stairs in the store, but the lower level is accessible through the donation drop-off around the rear of the building.
