Volunteer Information

Volunteers are important to the success of The One Week Boutique. Once you are a registerd consignor, we will contact you with volunteer opportunities.

All volunteer shifts are 3.5 hours. Each consignor will be required to complete one shift to be eligible to shop at the Volunteer Preview Sale. Each additional 3.5 hour volunteer shift completed will earn you BOUTIQUE BUCKS in the amount of $10 per shift. These special BOUTIQUE BUCKS can be used at the Spring 2008 Sale and can be used like cash to make purchases.

The Volunteer Preview Sale is held for one hour prior to the Consignor Preview Sale and it is our volunteers who get the very first shopping opportunity at each sale. It is our way to say “thank you” for your assistance – we can’t do it without you.

Sign-Up for shifts is assigned on a first come-first serve basis. Once you have registered to consign, we will communicate with you about shifts via em-mail. If a shift you have requested is full, we will attempt to offer you other available options.

There are shifts that are held during the Volunteer Preview Sale and the Consignor Preview Sale. If you are assigned one of these shifts, you will be allowed to shop for the hour prior to the Volunteer Preview Sale.
