Opportunity Details
31st Street Baptist Church Urban Farm Volunteer Leader Needed
HandsOn is recruiting a volunteer leader specifically for a recurring project we have with Tricycle Gardens for an April 2017 start.
Our Volunteer Leader program consists of a group of dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who we train to lead projects in the community with our partners for one year, exponentially increasing the reach of volunteerism in our region! You can make a difference by exploring a community need and leading others in service, all while learning new skills, getting access to special professional development opportunities, and interacting with fellow leaders in meetups and socials year round.
The project is monthly on the 2nd Saturday of the month from 9am-12pm. Your volunteer leader term would be from April - November 2017 with the option to renew your term if you'd like at the end.
The project:
With a mission to grow healthy food, healthy communities and a healthy local food system, Tricycle Gardens has engaged thousands of neighbors and shown that the simple act of growing food is an incredibly powerful way to change the overall health of our community. Volunteers will help maintain the 31st Street Baptist Church Urban Farm site. This may include work on special projects such as irrigation and water catchment, upkeep, weeding, composting, and building farm structures. Tools, gloves, and safety equipment will be provided as needed. This is a family friendly project!
