Volunteer: Stitch Buffalo Studio Volunteers

Stitch Buffalo is seeking volunteers to assist in the preparation of supplies for our Refugee women artists, community classes, and other tasks in and around the studio. It is helpful to have some experience with the tools and techniques used in fiber arts (sewing, knitting/crochet, embroidery, etc.) but you do not need to be an expert. 

We are primarily seeking people with availability on weekday mornings and afternoons. We do not require a fixed schedule or commitment to a minimum number of hours, but appreciate volunteers who are able to be with us at least once a month for a 3-4 hour shift.
