Volunteer With Us

Events

Join us at fall garden work parties in the school gardens! Your help is needed to prepare the school gardens for winter!

Find your school’s work party in the calendar to the left. No volunteer application necessary to join work parties! If you have any questions, please reach out to info@projectbeetroot.org or your school’s Food Educator!

Below are the ways you can get involved:

  • Garden Care Volunteers – Help maintain school and community gardens during the growing season. Volunteer on your own or as a group!

  • Gardening & Cooking Lesson Volunteers – Assist Food Educators with school-based lessons, often leading small activity stations for kids.

  • Camp & After School Club Volunteers – Assist Food Educators with life sciences, gardening, and cooking activities, often leading small activity stations for kids
