Individual Volunteers
Volunteering is paused during the winter of 2022-2023. Interested in joining us in the spring or summer of 2023? Fill out the Volunteer Interest Form and we'll keep you updated on next steps.
Red Wiggler relies on volunteers helping in the fields, being willing to expand their skills and learn alongside our Grower staff. We are always looking for individuals who have the time and dedication to commit to Red Wiggler.
Please note: Volunteers are needed Monday - Friday, from 9-12 pm or 1-3 pm. The volunteer season wraps up by around mid-November. Volunteers under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
