About this role

Individuals join the Conservancy on its grounds during regular volunteer hours at the Outdoor Learning Center and the Greenhouse. Listed opportunities include seasonal farm and garden workdays, Plot-It-Fresh site prep and maintenance, CSA box packing and distribution, event support at markets and festivals, and youth education and outreach assistance. Volunteers help maintain gardens and farm plots that feed the organization's food access work, assist with farm stands and greenhouse harvests, and support family programs and school field trips. Volunteers submit an individual application form along with a signed waiver, and volunteers aged 15 to 17 need a guardian signature.
