Volunteer Orientation @ STL

This is a great opportunity to learn more about how you can get involved with the community and help out at the Shoreline Tool Library. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer, you haven't been back in a while, or you're brand new, everyone is welcome!

We’ll cover everything you need to know to check in and out tools, assist members, and answer all of your questions. We’ll also go over other ways to volunteer, including beautification, outreach, inventory, fixing tools, and steering committees. If you'd like to learn a little more about each opportunity before seeing the space (and see what other opportunities we have), check out seattlereconomy.org/volunteer, and we'll see you there!
