Please Note: The State of North Carolina has asked us to change the term Volunteer to 'Work Exchanger' to better describe our program. Our program has not changed. You will see "Work Exchange Program" or "Work Exchanger" instead of "Volunteer".
Thank you for working with us in exchange for shopping first. ~
We couldn't do it without you!

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE KID’S EXCHANGE. THIS EVENT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUR Work Exchangers. YOU ARE VERY APPRECIATED.
Please do not sign up for your shift unless you are 100% certain that you can fulfill this obligation. The Kids Exchange works with 400+ Work Exchangers. It is very time consuming to deal with changes in Work Exchangers requests. Please help us best maximize our time by limiting changes. In the case of an emergency and you need to change your shift after you have signed up, please email: DORIS@KIDSEXCHANGE.NET
WHEN WORKING YOUR Work Exchange SHIFT, PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY. GO TO THE INFORMATION DESK AND SIGN IN. YOU WILL ALSO SIGN OUT WHEN YOUR SHIFT IS FINISHED.
PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR Work Exchange SHIFTS FILL VERY FAST & THERE IS A WAITING LIST. IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO TAKE PART IN THE WORK EXCHANGE, PLEASE CANCEL ASAP SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW A WAITING LIST PERSON TO TAKE YOUR PLACE. AGAIN, WE ASK THAT YOU AVOID THIS SITUATION BY NOT SIGNING UP UNTIL YOU ARE 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JOIN US. CANCELING OR CHANGING SHIFTS IS NOT POSSIBLE DURING THE EVENT AND NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED BEFORE HAND. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS.
AGAIN, PLEASE KNOW HOW VERY MUCH YOU ARE APPRECIATED!
IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO US THAT YOU KNOW WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A VITAL PART OF THE KIDS EXCHANGE.
THANK YOU,
Doris, Julie & Amy

FREQUENTLY ASKED ABOUT OUR WORK EXCHANGE PROGRAM:

WHAT IS A TRADITIONAL WORK EXCHANGER?
A TRADITIONAL WORK EXCHANGER WORKS ONE 5 HOUR SHIFT OF YOUR CHOICE.
A TRADITIONAL WORK EXCHANGER SHOPS ON WEDNESDAY, 5P-8PM.
Traditional Work Exchangers shop second only to Super Exchangers.
CAN I BRING A GUEST TO THE WORK EXCHANGERS' SALE?
Work Exchangers are allowed to bring one adult Helper that lives at the same residence as the Work Exchanger. Both WE and Helper will need to bring their driver's license to varify their address. If you do not have a second adult living in your home, please see the "Work Exchange Policy" link at the top of this page for information on exceptions.
CAN I BRING SOMEONE WITH ME TO HELP ME WATCH THE CHILDREN?
There is a lobby in the front of the building where anyone is welcome to wait. Only Work Exchangers and approved 'Helpers' will be allowed on the sales floor.
CAN MY CHILDREN COME WITH ME TO WORK MY WORKING SHIFT(S)?
FOR SAFETY REASONS, CHILDREN CANNOT ACCOMPANY PARENTS DURING THEIR WORKING SHIFTS..
THIS IS STRICKLY ENFORCED.
CAN MY CHILDREN WORK A SHIFT?
CHILDREN SIXTEEN YEARS & OLDER (AND RESPONSIBLE IN A FAST PACED ENVIRONMENT) ARE WELCOME TO SIGN UP AND WORK.
IF I SIGN UP TO WORK A SHIFT AND FAIL TO WORK MY SHIFT….CAN I STILL SIGN UP AS A WORKING EXHCNAGER AT THE NEXT SALE.
NO, WE NOW HAVE A WAITING LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WORK AND SHOP FIRST.
BECAUSE THE KID’S EXCHANGE DEPENDS ON OUR WORK EXCHANGERS….IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU WORK THE SHIFT YOU SIGN UP FOR. PEOPLE WHO SIGN UP AS A WORKING EXCHNAGER…. AND THEN FAIL TO WORK THEIR ASSIGNED SHIFT (WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE) WILL BE REMOVED FROM OUR WORK EXCHANGER LIST. OUR INTENT IS TO PROTECT THE TIME INVESTMENT OF OUR EXCHANGERS. THIS RULE IS DESIGNED AS YOUR PROTECTION. IF YOU HAVE A TRUE EMERGENCY AND NOTIFY US…EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE & MAKE UP TIMES POSSIBLE.
