Connected to Organization --- not set --- Opportunity Title Description Do you care about reducing waste in landfills? Do you want to help children in need? If your answers to both are yes, then please consider volunteering at <a href="https://crayoncollection.org/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=idealist" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Crayon Collection</strong>.</a> Crayon Collection is a nonprofit that collects gently used crayons and distributes them to Title 1 schools. By collecting crayons, we reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills since crayons do not decompose. We are seeking <strong>Crayon Ambassadors </strong>to help elevate our program by volunteering 2-5 hours/week. <strong>Duties include:</strong> 1. Calling restaurants in your community to inform them about our Crayon Recycling program and asking them to participate. 2. Pairing each restaurant with a local Title 1 school and coordinating the pick up of the crayons. 3. Sharing results with Program Manager for record-keeping <strong>Requirements:</strong> - No prior volunteer experience required - Likely need to drive to pick up and drop off crayon donations, requiring a driver's license and access to a vehicle - Ability to lift ~5-10 lbs We currently have the most need for crayon ambassadors in the <strong>Santa Monica area</strong>, however we are growing nationally and accepting volunteers from anywhere within the US! This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a 501c3 nonprofit, gain logistical experience, and to make a difference for students in your community. If you are interested, please send an email to <strong>info@crayoncollection.org.</strong> Thank you for your consideration!
