Become a Staff Member

Anyone can become a staff member of Mixed Nuts, at any time – no prior experience necessary! Students of any Div, area of study, housing situation, etc. are encouraged to join. The only criteria are that you must attend the mandatory weekly staff meetings (typically 1 hour long, with free food), have at least 2 hours free per week to work a shift behind the counter, and attend the mandatory staff retreat once per semester.

Just come to any of our weekly meetings to get started. Not sure if you want to join? You are still welcome to attend, because they are open to the public! Look for our meeting events on HampEngage.

Become a Consignment Partner

Consignment Partners allow Mixed Nuts to connect with and support artists and creators in the Hampshire community. Selling through Mixed Nuts allows artists to sell their creations in a secure space that not only is maintained by our staff, but also attracts many customers throughout the community every day. In addition, their art can be purchased via any of Mixed Nuts’ payment options, including OneCard money.

Our previous consignment items include pins, buttons, patches, zines, prints, pottery, jewelry, candles, hats, scarves, potted plants, you name it! Consignors cannot sell food items through us, however.

Mixed Nuts takes a small percentage (10%) of each item’s price, which goes directly toward supporting the co-op, and all other earnings are sent to consignors’ mail boxes every month.
