Volunteer Holiday Gift Wrapping Program Manager Needed!
Do you have an interest in volunteering with Eastside Audubon in leadership capacity? If so, we want to hear from you!
Eastside Audubon is looking for a volunteer to become our Holiday Gift Wrapping Program Manager.
Background:
Prior to the COVID pandemic, Eastside Audubon would hold an annual holiday gift wrapping booth during the week leading up to Christmas. Our booth was located inside the REI store in Issaquah. Our volunteers would wrap gifts in cloth gift bags made by our members or wrapping paper in exchange for donations from shoppers. We would like to restart that tradition.
About You:
You are an enthusiastic person who can jump in with both feet and represent the chapter. Building relationships with other volunteers and organizations is your jam.
About The Position:
This position requires a commitment of a few hours a week, from July through the end of December. Specific duties can be summed up into 3 categories:
Materials. Solicit donations for the cloth to make the gift bags from Eastside Audubon members or organizations in our service area
Relationship Development. You will work with REI Issaquah or another business that is willing to host the fundraiser again and schedule the time that our gift wrapping booth will be there.
Volunteer Recruitment. Recruit volunteers to sew the gift bags and others to do the gift wrapping. Historically, we have staffed the booth every evening and on the weekend for the week leading up to Christmas.
Don’t let this sound overwhelming. This is a fun and rewarding part of our fundraising efforts and we will support and guide you 100% of the way!
