Volunteer Opportunities
Marketing & Outreach
Fundraising & Grantwriting
Outreach and marketing volunteer responsibilities include advertising, social media, and coordination with local community groups.
We need volunteers for organizing fundraising events such as membership drives and donation drives, locating and coordinating with potential fiscal sponsors, identifying and applying for grants, and other miscellaneous funding opportunities.
Operations
Maintenance
Library service is hard on tools, and we can always use a helping hand with repairs and general upkeep, such as sharpening, cleaning, aligning, and component replacement. Training is available. If you’ve got a shop of your own, you’re also welcome to take tools home to repair at your leisure!
Assistant Librarians
Librarians assist members with checking tools in and out, signing up new members, and providing advice on members’ projects. No technical knowledge is necessary— this is a great opportunity to learn about tools and how they’re used!
Inventory
Keeping track of thousands of tools is no small feat! We’re looking for volunteers to correct inventory entries, add new tools to the inventory, and perform basic function tests to flag troubled tools for repair.
Education
Share your knowledge with the community and teach a class at WSTL! We can configure the shop for carpentry, metalworking, sewing, repairs, and more.
