Volunteer your Time
Come and join our dedicated and energetic team of volunteers who believe in making a difference in education.
WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
In 2011 we had 8,700 volunteers who put in 29,000 hours helping RAFT building activity kits that made a difference to 12,050 educators and 828,000 students! Thank you volunteers!
Every year with the assistance of volunteers, RAFT assembles and distributes over 50,000 hands-on Math, Science, and Art Activity Kits made from repurposed materials, thereby keeping them out of landfills. Volunteers help keep the cost of these Activity Kits down by sorting the different raw materials that are donated and assembling them into retail-ready kits that RAFT members can purchase.
