VOLUNTEER
We have a crew of beautiful people that help make Kindling Collective possible. Want to get involved? You don't need to know everything or anything, you just have to love being a part of our big queer community! Keep reading below for more information about ways to get involved.
Volunteer Librarians
Volunteer librarians do not need to have a ton of experience with outdoor trips and equipment, but should be passionate about the outdoors, supporting queer people, and the sharing economy. Volunteer librarians interact with borrowers at the front desk, help with gear reservations and sorting, check equipment in and out, and field membership questions.
​

Pit Crew Volunteer
Gear repair team members work independently or in community with other teammates to diagnose and repair our equipment. If you have experience with gear repair, sewing, mending, or just taking things apart and fixing ‘em, we need your help! Help keep our inventory in tip-top shape to keep everyone safe, dry and having fun outside.
Have Other Skills?

Kindling Collective is an inclusive space that is welcoming to people of all backgrounds and outdoor experience levels. Racism, transphobia, homophobia, body shaming, and/or ableism are not welcome in the gear library or at any Kindling Collective event, space, or offering.
