Volunteers can expect to use scissors, box cutters, and pliers in performing a number of simple tasks. An example would be cutting a cardboard loam or creating small index cards that are wrapped with yarn for a weaving project.

Accommodations: Any and all abilities are welcome. The library is ADA wheelchair accessible and we will be able to provide volunteers with disabilities accommodation so long as we are told ahead of time so that we can be sure that we are prepared.

Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance

Project Description: Art Build! We will host a community art build in which volunteers will help paint "protect wild Utah" movement banners and large patches for shirts. The banners and signs will be screen-printed by hand. The prints will be designed this summer and produced en masse before the Art Build on October 4. Volunteers at the Art Build will paint the prints with colored paint. Volunteers will be allowed to take a shirt patch with them (and some for their friends), and the banners will be stored by SUWA for our next Wild Utah Action.

Accommodations: We can ensure there are seats and tables accessible to people in wheelchairs so folks can paint. This problem would be a challenge if the volunteer is not able to hold a paintbrush. Other disabilities would need further thought.
