Afternoon Volunteer Options: 1:30 PM – 4 PM
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.
Accommodations:
This project will take place on a grass field.
Group Size: 10-20
Project
Description: Outside cleanup: cleaning the parking lot, pulling weeds, cleaning
outside windows, cleaning the front and back of the clinic.
Accommodations:
This would be challenging for someone with physical disabilities.
Group Size: 10-15
Project
Description: Art Build! We will host a community art build in which volunteers
will help paint "protect wild Utah" movement banners and large
patches for shirts. 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
FULL. REGISTRATION
CLOSED

windows, pick up litter & sweep parameter of building, and pull weeds.
