GIVE AN HOUR, GIVE AN AFTERNOON…

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Free 2 Teach. It takes a team of dedicated volunteers to operate the Free 2 Teach store and we are always looking for new members.

We have volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups, or businesses; during store hours, after hours, evenings, and weekends. Come for any amount of time you are available! We strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate your busy schedule.
