Bean Basket Volunteer Application Approval Request

Application form: https://forms.office.com/r/uAkAsZT12R

The ASUW Bean Basket is a bulk-buying store located on the ground floor of Odegaard Library (Next to by George Cafe) that sells ethical & sustainable foods to the UW community at affordable & cost-effective prices. 

ASUW Bean Basket Volunteers will assist Bean Basket employees in day-to-day operations of the Bean Basket (assisting in scooping product, cleaning, and in general operating the store) while maintaining a positive atmosphere. Each volunteer is expected to work one regularly-scheduled shift per week, scheduled based on the Volunteer’s own schedule. Volunteers can expect to gain valuable customer service and sales experience while also making a difference.

TIME COMMITMENT: Volunteers can expect to work one 3-hour shift, once per week for the duration of the quarter (unless volunteer expresses wanting to work more hours). We will work to provide volunteers with a consistent work schedule that remains the same from week to week.

PLEASE NOTE: The Bean Basket Winter Quarter hours of operation is as follows: MWF 12pm-5pm, TTh 1-5pm. If your schedule conflicts so that you would not be able to work a continuous 3 hour block within these hours, please do not apply. 
Applications will be available each quarter so consider volunteering for a different quarter if you do have schedule conflicts.

If you have any questions, please contact Angela Choi (Bean Basket Head Cashier) at choiang@uw.edu.
