Opportunities From: Treetops Collective

Please respond to this opportunity if you are interested in receiving emails as transportation needs arise. These needs are typically quite sporadic, and having a list of interested volunteers helps us know where to start when the need does come up! 

Cafe hosts needed! On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, we will need volunteer support to do a short opening checklist, ensure that customers are welcomed warmly and introduced to how payment works, and do a short closing checklist. Volunteers are welcome to bring homework, their own remote work, a book to read, or a craft to do... anything to fill your time between customers! Shifts are from 8:30 to 12:00 for the morning, and 12:00 to 3:30 for the afternoon. 

We would like to prioritize volunteers who are here on a regular basis. If possible, please sign up for at least 3-4 shifts each month.

We will do a training with you on your first shift, and there will always be Treetops staff in the shop (and often throughout the building!) while you are there. 

Amani is starting a 6-week session of Circles of Support and needs a childcare volunteer in order for a woman in the Arabic-speaking community to be able to participate. Please register for as many dates as you are able - this will allow the momma to plan ahead, and will allow you to form a relationship with the parent/kids! If you are only available for one of the dates, that's okay, too. We need you!

Do you (or anyone you know) have expertise in solving internet connectivity issues? We could use your (or their) help at The 906! Please respond to this opportunity or simply reach out by email to MaryAnne (maryanne@treetopscollective.org)! 

If you've been to Treetops, you know that we have a beautiful and welcoming space. We would love your help to ensure that the building remains safe and lovely for all of the people who enter our doors. If you enjoy working in any of the following areas, please sign up! There is not a specific time commitment, given the nature of the tasks; we will follow up with you directly when you sign up and determine what you are willing and able to help with, then will communicate with you as those types of needs come up!

If these areas are not your forte, but you're thinking of someone who might be excited about this type of volunteering, please share this opportunity with them and/or connect them directly with me via email: maryanne@treetopscollective.org. Thank you!!
