Notes

Briefly describe what Marion Resourcers will be doing. We will use this in the announcement to solicit volunteer help. Please include things like any needs for their own table, chairs or canopy. They can bring their own displays and literature.

The mission of the program is outreach and education. Therefore, Marion Resourcers cannot stand at waste stations and direct participants to sort waste, nor can they haul waste or sort inventory as their primary role. To recruit volunteers to staff recycling stations, try Hands on Greater Portland, CNRG, Craig’s list, Volunteer Match, Idealist or other volunteer sites.

Marion Resourcers choose the volunteer opportunities that best fit their schedules, locations, and interests. The program cannot guarantee that a volunteer will sign up for any particular event. The Marion Resourcer program notifies volunteers about opportunities through an online calendar, social media and direct emails.
