VOLUNTEER

for Zen-Like and Thought Provoking Creative projects
to BE MUSE and to make an ECO Difference too.

Be Creative Zone (501c3 an eco art & creativity non profit) is looking for people who understand there is still value in stuff that most people throw away. In order for people once again see the value of stuff it needs to be processed; deconstructed, cleaned, sorted and stored, ready for creative browsing and reuse.

Be Creative Zone is looking for people who LIKE to clean and SORT to get stuff ready for Re-USE. It is a great outlet to calm the mind or give your fidgety hands something to do. It is Zen Work, mindless mindful work that makes a difference for Be Creative Zone and your projects too. Let the stuff you work with be your muse.

The end goal is give you an environment to Be Mused by stuff as well as allow you and other creatives to Re-Use the stuff we save. Once stuff is processed the creative process begins. BE CREATIVE and make useful things; from fine art to useful creative crafts. Your imagination is truly the limit.
