Rural Action AORC - FULL OR PART TIME Zero Waste Cohort
 
 
 
Serve alongside 3-5 team members in our Zero Waste Cohort for 675 total hours across 6 OR 9 months as part of the Appalachian Ohio Restore Corps (AORC). 6-month members serve fulltime, with healthcare benefits. 9-month members serve 22 hours per week, perfect for students, parents, or those with part-time commitments! Stationed primarily at Upcycle Ohio, the Zero Waste cohort will focus on material recovery and organization, medical supply collection and distribution, Center for Hard to Recycle Material event, and more. All service will be in support of Rural Action's commitment to promote the development of a zero-waste economy. In a zero-waste economy, product development prioritizes conservation of natural resources, product design incorporates ways to facilitate and encourage post-consumer reuse, repair, recycling, or composting, and all discards become assets that benefit the people, the planet, and the local economy. We support this ideal through general education about waste reduction & recycling, waste assessments of businesses, schools and organizations, zero waste events, social entrepreneurship, and the implementation of the Athens-Hocking Zero Waste Action Plan. Stationed primarily at Upcycle Ohio, the Zero Waste cohort will focus on material recovery and organization, medical supply collection and distribution, Center for Hard to Recycle Material event support, and more.
