Adult Volunteer Form. Youth, please volunteer online at the above web page.
As our 2010 season gets underway, we have many ways you can volunteer.
Adults can volunteer one of two ways. One is with our youth gardening program by coaching area teens who are growing food for the needy. You do not have to have nay gardening experience to do so. The youth work in committees and include many management teams. Some ways you can become involved may include advisor for a committee such as special events, outreach, media relations, education and many others.The average time commitment for this would be about 2-3 hours a week throughout the growing season. As well, if you have leadership skills you would like to share, you can give a one time lesson and help train the youth.
(Please note: to work with the youth program, you must be able to pass a criminal background check.)
Another way adults can get involved is in our fundraising gardens. These gardens will have more adult interaction and can be a great place to make new friends. You are able to volunteer anytime you would like on these gardens with no need to feel obligated to meet any minimum times. As of this year, we have no "traditional" community gardens (individual plots for lease), but are looking to build them in late Fall of 2010 or Spring of 2011.
Youth can get involved with our program by enrolling in our youth gardening program P.L.A.Y. (Planting Leadership And Youth). This program grows food for the the needy of the area. To learn more, please go to www.youthgardens.org.
