Closet Champions are vital to the operation of our in-school closets! 

Volunteering as Closet Champions is a perfect opportunity for your team members to work inside our closets and prepare them for students’ shopping experiences.

Closet Champions visit their assigned closet weekly or bi-weekly to ensure it is clean, organized, and well-stocked so students can shop for what they need in a safe, welcoming environment.

Your team members who sign up to be Closet Champions can split the responsibilities and closet visits amongst themselves, or each team member can pick a closet to manage. This arrangement is perfect for one individual or up to four team members.

We provide forms and training to ensure each Closet Champion is comfortable with the position.

This role offers a flexible schedule! Champions can choose when to visit their closet as long as it is during the school day, Monday through Friday.

Reach out to Bethany Welch at bethany@catiescloset.org to learn more and become a champion for local students in need!

Time commitment:
TBD based on the number of items collected

Schedule:
You decide!

Cost:

Benefit:

Host an exciting and engaging team-building event from the convenience of your office, with all materials delivered right to you.

Hosting a clothing drive to support Catie’s Closet is an opportunity for your team to provide clothing to local children in need. Your office can collect new or gently used items, which will be distributed to children through our In-School Closet Program and SOS Urgent Response Program.

You can learn more about hosting a drive with your company here.

Once you’ve completed your drive, you can use our Processing Party Kit to bring the volunteer experience of sorting clothing donations to your office!

The kit includes processing instructions and color-coded materials to make your Processing Party a fun, engaging team-building experience. Just like if you were to sort donations at our Distribution Center, your team would sort clothing by gender and type. Your efforts will help us get ahead in our donation process and distribute items to children in a timely manner.

Catie’s Closet helps children meet their most basic needs, empowering them to love and express themselves authentically. With the confidence to share their best selves with the world, they inspire others to do the same.

This is the power of self-love and the Be Me® Movement.

Showcase what makes your company and team members unapologetically confident while encouraging others to create a world of tolerance and understanding.

We partner with businesses to create short videos that inspire our youth to say, “I am proud to Be Me®”.
