Volunteer Orientation
Discover how Volunteers power our creative reuse mission, and support depot operations every day! Mandatory for first time volunteers.
About Volunteer Program Orientation Day at SCRAP
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with SCRAP! We ask all new volunteers to attend an Orientation Day at SCRAP before they can sign up for volunteer shifts. Please note, that orientation is for those who are interested in becoming regular volunteers.
SCRAP often hosts volunteering events called volunteer days that feature a specific type of activity or theme (ex: 鈥淲ind & Unwind鈥 for yarn winding). These events do not require you to attend an orientation.

What to expect & how to prepare
- On orientation day, you will learn about SCRAP, its history, how it works, and the important role that volunteers play.
- You will also take a tour of the facility, learn how to sign up for volunteer shifts, and participate in a beginner friendly volunteer activity/task.
- Orientation will last a half hour or less, after which you are welcome to stay and work on a basic volunteer task. In May, the volunteer tasks will be geared towards Aisle Clean-Up & Organization
- You are welcome and encouraged to bring a water bottle as well as any snacks you might want. Please wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
