Volunteers

Students and community members can volunteer with many of our programs. Volunteers have many of the same opportunities for farm- and garden-based opportunities that interns have, but do not receive academic credit. There is no minimum time commitment for volunteers. Our capacity for volunteers varies by program; see below for details. You can sign-up for our Volunteer Opportunities email here. 

Volunteering in the Market Garden

If you are interested in volunteering in the Market Garden, sign up on the volunteer sign up form. The Market Garden is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 12 pm throughout the school year and during the summer. We require a 10 hour minimum per quarter for Market Garden volunteers, but you do not need to come in on a regular schedule. No prior experience is necessary! New volunteers need to complete a safety training and orientation -- these are held the first week of every quarter and please sign up to volunteer to get the announcements. Click here for directions to the Market Garden. 

Volunteering in the Ecological Garden

Volunteer spots are more limited in the Ecological Garden. Though there is no minimum time commitment required for Ecological Garden volunteers, we do ask that you commit to a regular weekly schedule; hours of operation change each quarter. If you would like to volunteer in the Ecological Garden, please contact us. 

Volunteering with other Student Farm programs

We have limited capacity for volunteers with our other Student Farm programs. Please speak with farm staff or contact us if you are interested in volunteering with one of these programs.
