The minimum age for volunteers is 12 years old and for Cold Food Sorting, it is 16 years old. However, the minimum age is lowered to 6 years old for kid-friendly shifts. Volunteers under age 18 must have a Youth Volunteer Waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
All volunteers younger than 16 must volunteer with an adult.  We ask that 1 adult volunteer be present for every 7 volunteers under age 18.  Our projects take place in an industrial warehouse with dangerous operating equipment and safety is a major concern, particularly for young children.
