Join the Tar Heel Team!
Help us create the sale for others.
It’s so much fun!
At Tar Heel Kids Consignment our goal is to welcome workers who want to help us create the very best selling and shopping experience possible for our community. The good news is, we don’t have to look very far to find them! Most are our volunteers from past events. We are so grateful to all our volunteer workers from season’s past. We know that YOU are the most valuable resource we have when it comes to the success of running this awesome event. You can likely work the same amount of hours and shop at the same time (or even earlier).
Tar Heel Kids offers three (3) Volunteer options: Bronze, Silver, and Gold!
The lovely Debbie, long term Gold Wanda!
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sale. Most have been a part of creating the event for the rest of us for years. Every season, one or two need to opt out for a bit, but 3 or 4 more step up. It’s lovely. So, we have Bronze, Silver & Gold Volunteers.
In order to be compensated and receive credit for ANY Shift, ALL Volunteers MUST sign in at the BEGINNING of each shift. This includes those who are working multiple shifts per day. Each shift MUST be signed off on. Verbal documentation CANNOT be accepted. Tar Heel Kids LOVES our team, and we want to ensure that you receive credit for your hours. Thank you for your help!

Volunteer POLICY:
Please know how much we appreciate your time and effort each and every season! We understand that things come up, a sick child or other event may prevent you from completing your shift; however, we plan our worker schedules based on the needs of the sale. If you have registered for a shift and do not fulfill your shift, it hurts the production of the sale from set-up to break down and pick up.
You may select 3-10 shifts to work during the event. (working fewer than 3 shifts as a “trainee” must be approved ahead of time by our hiring manager) You MAY NOT sign up for more than 10 shifts (40 hours!) without prior approval.
Sign in and Sign out is required for every shift.
24 Hour Notice of Shift Cancellation is required
Volunteer MUST remove themselves from the shift
Volunteer shifts will LOCK at 8PM the night before set up.
If you are a REGISTERED consignor and scheduled to work as a Volunteer and DO NOT show up for your shift OR give 24 hour notice, you will forfeit all perks, you will have a percentage of your sales reduced from 65% of consignment to 50% and you will not able to shop during presale shopping. If you have already availed yourself of these perks, they will be forfeited for next season.
If you are considering signing up to be a Volunteer at our sale, or if you are already signed up, here are a few tips and suggestions that you might find helpful.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You will be standing for a majority of your work shift and we want you to be comfortable!
The tasks assigned to workers during their shift are dependent on the needs of a shift. Tar Heel Kids Consignment will always give complete and detailed instructions to workers so that they will be comfortable with the tasks assigned to them.
Drop off day workers usually help us inspect and place clothing items on the sales floor as they come in.
Saturday afternoon & evening is dedicated to presort and pick up.
Sunday is all about breakdown/organization of the sale.
Workers must sign-in with Lee Anne, our team manager, as they arrive for their work shift.
After team members are signed in, they should get a name tag to wear during their shift. These items are required & help shoppers and others know who is a Tar Heel Team Member.
Please do not leave valuables in your car!
Our goal is to make your work experience enjoyable and pleasant. We try to have fun while we are working the sale. We look forward to having you join us!
NOTE: Volunteers should NOT bring their young children with them to work. Rare exceptions have been made for nursing infants, but the appeal must be made and approved before signing up to work.
Tar Heel Kids Consignment has lots of ways to help, please be sure to check out all of the options that are available.
