Develop your retail merchandising, customer service, and sales skills – all while making a difference.

For more than 40 years, the Society has owned and operated these specialty resale stores, featuring items such as clothing, accessories, jewelry, furniture, artwork, antiques, collectibles, and other household items. Volunteers are always needed for a variety of meaningful opportunities like working in the store, providing customer service, receiving inventory, and other duties.
Discovery Shops are located in California, Iowa, New York, Ohio, Washington, and Virginia.
