Volunteer  
Your Local Happy Factory needs you!
The Happy Factory has no paid staff. The entire operation is run
by volunteer labor. We have many types of volunteers and appreciate
all of them.
Become a "Regular"
We find that volunteers who have committed to regular schedules are
invaluable to us. Once a person has learned "the system"
at a factory, they can come in and get right to work with no supervision.
Anyone is qualified to trace patterns, glue wood, assemble axles and
wheels, and help keep our factories in working order. We need people
over 18 to operate the equipment such as saws and routers. If you
have a little spare time on a regular basis, please become part of
our team at one of our workshops.
Organize Your Group
We love to have groups come in to give of their time. We have cars
to assemble and oil. We have factories to clean and maintain. Or,
if you have an idea for a special project, just let us know. Please
help us by letting us know when you would like to come in and what
project you would like to do. This gives us time to prepare for your
group. For instance, if you are bringing in a youth group, we will
have to have toys that have already gone through the cutting, sanding,
and routing process. We want your valuable volunteer time to be used
effectively.
Serve as a Board Member
There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. We have people
involved in fund raising, accounting, public relations, transportation....the
list is endless. We need you to help us with your expertise in areas
beyond the toy-making process. (Of course, you can make a few toys
while you're at it, because that's the FUN part!) Contact LynAnn
Ellsworth for more information.
Build Your Own Happy Factory
Do you think you want to become a full-time toy-maker? Well, we have
dedicated people who have started Happy Factories all over the world.
We promise it will be hard, and joyful. We promise you will see the
worst and the best in humanity. We promise your heart will grow with
each toy as ours have. Give us a call, we would love to discuss the
possibilities with you.
