Cully Collective Market
Hello neighbors & members of the Cully community,
We are working hard in anticipation for the Cully Collective Market's opening day on Saturday, July 10th! Although we open the market in less than a month, there is still at lot to do to ensure that our community market becomes a place to access fresh, healthy, affordable food, to meet our neighbors, and to provide economic opportunity in our neighborhood.
And that's where you come in! We are looking for a few good volunteers to lend their time and skills to make our market a reality. Here are a few ways you can get involved before the market starts, as well as ways to help on Opening Day:
Market Day Volunteers: We are looking for a group of committed individuals to help staff our Saturday markets. Responsibilities include help with set-up and/or clean-up of the market, directing market-goers and answering their questions, and running the Cully Collective Market info booth. Wed love it if you want to stay for the entire time (8am-2pm), but we are also looking for folks who are interested in taking 3 hour shifts (8am-11am or 11am-2pm).
Community Space & Events Coordination Volunteers: On market day, we hope to have music, community workshops, a kids' play area, and a venue to exchange ideas at the market (such as a community board, space for conversations, etc). If you have experience and/or an interest in a particular area of the Community Space, we'd love your help! Event coordination experience is a plus. We'd like your help finding arts, music, culture, and educational opportunities within our community to showcase at the market.
Outreach Volunteers: We need individuals to help us get the word out about the Cully Collective Market! Were looking for folks with interpersonal skills and the desire to meet their neighbors. People with good phone skills who are comfortable with making phone calls and people willing to knock on their neighbors doors would be a good fit. Language skills (Spanish, Somali, Russian, Vietnamese) are a plus. Past outreach activities have included canvassing efforts for a neighborhood-wide survey and flier creation and distribution for a large community meeting. We are also looking to do some kid-focused outreach, so if you have experience with children as a parent or teacher, wed love your input!
To volunteer, just send us a quick email with your name, phone number, and email address, what skills you'd like to offer, and what kind of volunteer opportunity interests you to cullycollectivemarket@gmail.com and we'll be in touch with you as soon as possible. In addition to our volunteer opportunities, we are looking for individuals to participate in the market at our Community Tables or as a Vendor. Please see this flier for more details. CCM Info Flier
