Project Description: Help assemble furniture and sort donations for refugees at our Sharehouse. We completely furnish new apartments for each refugee family that arrives in Utah. We furnish them completely on donation. All of those donations are collected at our warehouse which we call the Sharehouse. This is where the project will take place.

Accommodations: Most volunteer jobs at the Sharehouse will require lifting 20 lbs or more. We can adjust jobs as needed. There is always something to be done.
Group Size: 10-15

Project Description: Clever Octopus will host a Classroom Kit Prep project. Volunteers will work with COI staff to prepare materials for STEAM based classroom project kits. These kits are used in youth programming throughout Salt Lake Valley as well as sold at our retail location at 4973 S State Street Murray, UT 84104 at an affordable and accessible rate to teachers.

Volunteers can expect to use scissors, box cutters, and pliers in performing a number of simple tasks. An example would be cutting a cardboard loam or creating small index cards that are wrapped with yarn for a weaving project.

Accommodations: Any and all abilities are welcome. The library is ADA wheelchair accessible and we will be able to provide volunteers with disabilities accommodation so long as we are told ahead of time so that we can be sure that we are prepared.
Group Size: 15-20

Project Description: We will be creating and placing a mural on one of our outer walls during our afterschool hours. We severely need help with prepping our wall (painting, clearing the area and patching any possible holes) to be able to do this.

The banners and signs will be screen-printed by hand. The prints will be designed this summer and produced en masse before the Art Build on October 4. Volunteers at the Art Build will paint the prints with colored paint. Volunteers will be allowed to take a shirt patch with them (and some for their friends), and the banners will be stored by SUWA for our next Wild Utah Action.

Accommodations: We can ensure there are seats and tables accessible to people in wheelchairs so folks can paint. This problem would be a challenge if the volunteer is not able to hold a paintbrush. Other disabilities would need further thought.
Group Size: 20-30

Project Description: Assist in winterizing facility exterior: prune gardens, wash windows, pick up litter & sweep parameter of building, and pull weeds.
