VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are essential to the YSB thrift store, especially as budgets are continuing to be cut. The donation of your time with the YSB thrift shop will help youth in our community have continued access to our services no cost. All profits from our thrift shop supplement funding to YSB programs.

Thrift store volunteers assist customers, sort and tag merchandise, and operate the cash register. Volunteers receive a 30% discount after completing 20 hours in a month. Schedules are flexible.

People who have been court order on non violence offense can work off their fines by doing community service for our store.

Please call 445-4217 to find out more about volunteer opportunities. We look forward to seeing you soon.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES

The YSB Thrift Shop hires regular employees as well as providing training for A.A.R.P. and youth. We work with Cal-Works and many other organizations.
