Imagine This! Home & Landscape Tour

It's that time again!! June 27th & 28th will be our 7th annual tour Featuring THE BEST in Natural, Eco-Friendly Homes and Landscapes in Whatcom County! We're looking for volunteers to be at each site to welcome tour goers as they arrive and to stamp their tickets. Shifts are 9:30-1:30 or 1:30-5:30 on Saturday or Sunday. Site are mainly located in and around Bellingham. If you want more info or would like to volunteer please email april@sconnect.org.

Toward Zero Waste

We now have over 125 businesses who have committed to going Zero Waste! With that many, we'd love to find someone who's passionate about Zero Waste to do some follow-up (especially with a recent sign-ups). We need someone to make calls and check in to see how the businesses are doing and see if they have any questions (you don't need to know the answers, we can get someone to get back to them with an answer). This is also a great time to find out about some success stories so we can highlight those as well. Being detail oriented is key too as there will be some data entry work as well. If you're interested please contact april@sconnect.org.   

Event Interns

One of our most common volunteer/intern opportunities is helping to plan and prep our big events. Some of these include: Spring Business Conference (winter/spring), Home & Landscape Tour (spring/summer), and Eat Local Week/Kindred Spirits (summer/fall). We also have smaller Green Building tours & workshops, Farmer/Chef tours & workshops, and Sustainable Business Practices workshops throughout the year. Ideally someone will be in our office two days per week for 2-4 hours each time and will be able to see the event through from the initial planning stages through to the actual event. If you are interested please e-mail april@sconnect.org with the event/program you are most interested in and any relevant experience.

Data Entry Assistance

We are often in need of people that can come into the office periodically to help with data entry. Specific projects include: inputting Farm Map data, updating Membership info, entering Event Attendance as well as other one time projects.

General Website Assistance

We have quite a few small projects that we could use help with on our Sustainable Connections website. You don’t need html experience, but some website experience is preferred (or at least a knack for quickly learning new computer programs). Some photoshop experience is also useful. These include updating information about past events, publicizing upcoming events, adding new information to our Sustainable Practices online handbook and general help cleaning up some areas of the site.
