A treasure hunting job involves searching for valuable artifacts, coins, lost items, or historical relics using research, technology, and exploration skills. Treasure hunters may work independently or for organizations, using metal detectors, sonar, or historical records to locate hidden treasures.

Strong analytical thinking, perseverance, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills in this line of work. These abilities ensure safe, efficient, and lawful operations while maximizing the chances of valuable discoveries.

About Us:

Treasure Paws operates vibrant thrift stores that are fueled by the generosity of donors, dedicated employees, and passionate volunteers. Every store partners with an established animal rescue organization-donating a percentage of our monthly revenue-to help save lives. In addition, we work closely with local homeless shelters to ensure that excess donations reach those in need. By recycling and reusing goods, we not only support sustainable practices but also create meaningful opportunities for community engagement and job growth.

As a Store Volunteer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our unique treasures-from a $1 t-shirt to a $10,000 painting-find new homes. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Sorting, pricing, and organizing a wide range of items
  • Assisting customers from all walks of life with friendly, helpful service
  • Creating an inviting and vibrant shopping environment
  • Helping to maintain our commitment to environmental sustainability and community support

Schedule & Benefits:

  • Discounts on Merchandise: We offer 25-50% Discounts to our volunteers.
  • Flexible Hours: Volunteers can work any day of the week from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM; Sundays are 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
  • Community Impact: Directly support animal welfare and provide for local community needs.
  • Valuable Experience: Gain hands-on experience in retail and customer service, and be part of a team dedicated to sustainable practices and community uplift.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to give back, learn new skills, and help create a more sustainable and compassionate future, we’d love to have you on our team. Join us at Treasure Paws, where every donation, every smile, and every effort makes a difference!

Ready to start your journey? Apply now and help us turn secondhand treasures into second chances.
