Opportunity Details
East End Urban Farm
Tricycle Gardens is a nonprofit organization with a mission to grow healthy food, healthy communities, and a healthy local food system. Since breaking ground on their first garden, they have engaged thousands of community members 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 construct and maintain a new Church Hill 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!
Parking is on the street. Wear weather appropriate clothing for the outdoors and working in the elements. Clothing may be dirty by the end of the day. Bug spray and sunblock is often necessary. This site has tested for high amounts of lead, but the ground has been covered and the volunteer leader will talk with you about easy-to-follow precautions you can take to work safely. The site is currently under lead abatement (a series of measures designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards).
All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered. This includes youth. If the post indicates adults must be present, youth and adults must register using the team functionality. To learn more about our team functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.
If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project. The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.
