Can I Do Member Work In Store?

We retired our in-store Member Work program in 2015. Some volunteering opportunities that do not replicate the work of paid staff are available at our stores seasonally, such as volunteering at our COTS Tree Sale. Here’s a great article explaining why we made this transition:
