Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill out the volunteer intake form linked from the volunteer page, which asks about your experience, interests and availability, then wait for the team's reply..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
No volunteer days are posted right now, so the first step is the intake form and a reply. Past volunteer days were held on Thursdays and Saturdays at the farm on North 11th Street. The site does not say how long a shift lasts or what the work will be.
Tips for your first visit
- Dress for outdoor work, since the farm is outdoors.
- Ask the group which volunteer day is next, since none is posted.
- Group service projects are booked by email, so write to the group before you plan a visit.
- Public visiting hours are not stated, so ask before you go to the farm.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Volunteering starts with an intake form and a reply from the team, and no volunteer days are posted, so the first shift depends on the group's answer..
