Individual Volunteers
Sign up for an orientation below to learn more about volunteering at Red Wiggler! Orientations take place every 2-3 weeks at the farm, and last for approximately one hour. If you don't see an orientation below that works for your schedule, email volunteer@redwiggler.org to find an alternative.
Note that during the main growing season (April through early November or so), volunteers are needed Monday - Friday, from 9-12 pm or 1-3 pm. We almost never offer evening or weekend volunteering. Volunteers under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Sign up for a Volunteer Orientation:
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

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.
