Become A Volunteer
Circular Triangle is a 100% volunteer-led, grassroots organization. We focus on what we find inspiring, projects and programs furthering the circular economy in NC. It’s a great place to meet like-minded people, find support for a big idea, and be encouraged by a community that believes in and actively works towards a climate resilient, sustainable community. We could not do what we do without you!
Clothing Swap: Up to 5hr/quarter
Our clothing swaps are consistently hosted at DSSLVR Durham and RUMAH Raleigh on a bi-monthly basis. Our Hillsborough swaps are scheduled occasionally at Volume Records and other local businesses. We look forward to offering these swaps at local libraries and other locations as well. Your efforts help create a beautiful, stress-free space that encourages community, sustainability, and connection. Plus, you’ll get early access to the swap!
