Volunteer Opportunity - Youthlink Clothing Closet Refurbishment
They have asked for help to refurbish the space to make it more of a
retail or shopping experience. We would like to carpet the space, paint,
add storage, display fixtures, and replace or do something to the chain
link fence to make the space more inviting.
We are looking for volunteers that have the following skill sets:
• Architectural/Design
• Construction
• Project Management
We are also looking for in-kind donations of material or services.
Phase One - will involve the design and the procurement of the material and resources for the refurbishment.
Phase Two - will involve members participating in the actual
refurbishment. Dates TBD, but we can place you on a distribution list.
