VOLUNTEER
Help those who lack access to fresh, affordable, high-quality food in your community, learn more about growing food sustainably, and spend time outside on a farm as a volunteer.Â
The Food Project’s sustainably managed farms are designed for human — not machine — labor. We rely on volunteers to help tend to the fields and help grow vegetables to donate and distribute locally. Volunteers work on the farms in the spring and in the fall when our youth crews are in school.
Group volunteers, we have dates available for corporate or community volunteer group volunteering on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from April to June and again from September to November. Please email Events and Volunteers Coordinator Michelle Mulford at mmulford@thefoodproject.org to inquire about setting up a date.
Individual Volunteers, please visit this page for more information.Â
Work-For-Share Volunteers: Applications are open!!!Â
Our spring work-for-share volunteers get us through the spring and early summer season on our farms while the youth are still in school. Tasks may include moving compost, prepping beds, mulching, transplanting, harvesting, weeding, turning the compost pile, etc. Volunteers should be ready to do all sorts of manual labor, rain or shine! In exchange for their labor, work-for-share volunteers receive fresh veggies from our farms!
Volunteers should expect to go through a phone screening with one of our staff. Volunteers for our Lynn farm must be willing to fill out a CORI-SORI background check because it is located at a public school.Â
