Ten Thousand Villages is run primarily by volunteers who are committed to improving the lives of underprivileged artisans around the globe. They are looking for volunteers who have experience or are interested in fundraising, retail development, social media and local marketing. Also during the holiday season, volunteers are needed to assist with sales in the store on King Street in Old Town Alexandria and with outreach efforts around the area. Contact Melanie Kapinos at volunteers.alexandria@tenthousandvillages.com or call 703-684-1435.
