Individual Volunteers
Volunteering Overview
During the main growing season (April through November), volunteers are needed Monday - Friday, from 9-12 pm or 1-3 pm. Evening, weekend, and remote volunteering opportunities are infrequent and would be listed on our specialized volunteering page. Volunteers under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Orientations
All interested volunteers must come to the farm for an individual orientation before starting to volunteer. Register for an upcoming orientation below:
Steps to Volunteer
- Sign up for and attend an on-farm volunteer orientation (see above)
- Read our Volunteer Policies
- Complete a paper volunteer application (see link in green resources box above) and bring it with you to your orientation
- 18 or older? Submit your federal background check here
Once you've completed all the above steps, check out available shifts on GivePulse, our volunteering website. Please note that registering for a shift on GivePulse does NOT mean you are approved to come. You must receive an explicit approval email.
