Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Crayons! Currently, we are seeking volunteers to help in our warehouse. This includes walking, lifting, bending, and standing. If this is something you are able to do, and would like to learn more, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Taylor Young: tyoung[at]crayons2computers.org or (513) 482-3290.
What should I wear?
Please wear casual/comfortable clothing. Many volunteer activities take place in our warehouse, so be sure to wear clothing that is appropriate for bending, lifting, and moving. Closed toe shoes, however, are mandatory. Absolutely NO sandals or flip-flops are allowed when volunteering.
Does Crayons to Computers have an inclement weather policy?
On days with inclement weather, we will announce a decision to close by 12:00PM (noon). Please look for Crayons to Computers during the school/business closings. You can also check our status by calling 513.482.3290.
What if I need to cancel?
Please call 513.482.3290 to let us know as far in advance as possible if you need to cancel.
Is there anything I need to bring with me?
If you are a first-time volunteer, please complete the volunteer form and bring it with you to Crayons to Computers.
What is the Volunteer to Shop (VTS) Program?
Teachers from accredited K-12 schools in our service area that do not meet our eligibility criteria are able to participate in the Volunteer to Shop (VTS) program.
To be eligible for VTS, individuals must be full-time certified Kâ12 teachers in one of the 16 counties served by Crayons to Computers. (Sorry we are currently unable to have childcare providers or centers participate in VTS.)
For 2-hour each volunteer shift, teachers earn a certificate for one shopping trip in our Teacher Resource Store.
Teachers may earn up to 10 shopping trips through VTS throughout the school year.
NEW: Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, Crayons will implement a shopper access fee. This one-time fee will apply to VTS participants as well. For more information on the access fee click HERE.
The one-time VTS access fee is $25 and needs to be paid prior to your shopping trip in the Teacher Store.
Do I need to attend an orientation?
Not at first. If you are looking to become a regular "family" volunteer, there will be additional training required.
