Attention, City Market Member Workers!

 
As discussed in Pat Burns'  article  and in our  Transitions in Member Work article, City Market has moved our in-store Member Work, where it duplicates the work of paid staff, out into the community with our Outreach Partners.  We stopped offering Member Work shifts in Produce and the Front End beginning January 1, 2015 and shifts in Grocery and Bulk beginning February 1, 2015.  We have already added additional Outreach Member Worker opportunities and Community Outreach Partners and will continue to expand this program.  Thank you for helping us use this program to make an even bigger impact in our community!  Contact Liz Dykes in Member Services with any questions at 861-9707 or at ldykes@citymarket.coop.

New: Community Outreach Training

To make this transition a little easier, we are now offering a new series of trainings for in-store Member Workers that would like more information about volunteering for our Community Outreach Partners.  Please note that this training is for current Member Workers and cannot take the place of a Member Worker Orientation if you have not already attended one.  If you have attended an orientation in the last few months, this training will offer similar information.  To sign up for this training, click on the link below and you will be re-directed to Eventbrite.

In-Store Member Work

In-store work is limited to special events and projects that do not duplicate work of paid staff.   These opportunities will be communicated through our Member Worker emails.  To sign up to be put on this email list, please contact Liz Dykes at ldykes@citymarket.coop.
