Work Experience Partnership

Intertidal has partnerships throughout the community to provide individuals with volunteer and paid opportunities 

At Spruce Up Boutique, we’re more than just a shop; we’re a space for building confidence, gaining skills, and creating connections. Our inclusive work experience program welcomes volunteers and paid participants, offering individuals of all abilities a chance to be part of a supportive, hands-on retail environment.

Whether you’re folding clothes, learning the cash register, or helping with social media, every task is a meaningful step toward personal growth and community connection.

Here’s what we offer:

• Retail Experience – Practice organizing inventory, folding clothes, tagging items, and keeping displays tidy
• Social Media Exposure – Learn the basics of creating content and engaging with customers online
• Team Connection – Build communication skills and work alongside a caring, welcoming team
• Cash Register Practice – Develop money-handling and customer service confidence in a low-pressure setting
• Inclusive Support – Participants are welcome to bring support workers with them as needed!

Whether you’re exploring your first job, re-entering the workforce, or just want to get involved, Spruce Up Boutique is a safe and welcoming place to grow.

Everyone has something to offer—and everyone belongs here.
