Join the Thrift Shack Project Group

4 hours a week during four peak months a year. Start: soon! 

Green Office Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ (GOUU) is the platform for students and employees of Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ where sustainable ideas are formed, plans come together and projects are launched. GOUU supports Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ's sustainability process. We raise awareness about sustainable solutions and UU ambitions among students and staff and support sustainability projects from within our university community. 

What is the Thrift Shack? 

Twice a year, we organise a Pop-up Thrift Shack on campus to give your unwanted stuff a second chance and to stimulate circular economy and zero-waste living by bringing second-hand items back to life. The items are for free, and the Thrift Shack is based on the principle of open shelves – take as much as you need. 

What will you be doing? 

When you join the team, you will organize the Thrift Shack. Planning and coordinating, setting up the shop, collecting second-hand items and promotion are the main tasks. This vacancy would be an excellent way to increase your experience in organizational skills and to become more aware of the impact of a circular economy and zero-waste. You will learn more on how to stimulate others to be more sustainable. Lastly, you will join our sustainable community and get to meet a whole network of sustainability-minded students! 

The Thrift Shack is organised twice a year.
