Do you have a passion for quality retailing, being part of your local community, and want to be a part of the sustainable fashion movement?

• You'll have great people skills and the ability to lead and supervise a group of extraordinary volunteers.
• You should have the ability to problem solve and work under pressure while being self motivated and driven.
