Volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages in Ann Arbor, MI

We welcome you to Join Our Village of volunteers! The success of  Ten Thousand Villages in Ann Arbor is due to the wonderful group of volunteers that have "stepped up to the plate" and devoted their time, effort and energy to the principles of Fair Trade and to ensuring the dignity and living wages of our artisans in developing countries.   Stop by our store to pick up an application form or get more information on how you can help and become a volunteer.

Our trained volunteer staff of over 80 dedicated individuals ranges from 16 to 85 years of age. Working in the store is educational & exciting, and many friendships and shared stories have created a true Villages family right on Main Street!

"Most of our volunteers work locally to create a
fairer, kinder, and more inclusive community.
Volunteering at Ten Thousand Villages allows me to
share that with communities all over the world, and to
promote a fairer and more just world community. I
love how excited people are when they learn about fair
trade for the first time! Think Globally – Act
Locally!"                Anna Grace, Ann Arbor Store Volunteer
