Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with City Slicker Farms!
In order to make sure you have a great and safe volunteer experience, as well as to give you a better understanding of how our work supports food justice, we ask all volunteers to complete a Food Justice Orientation before volunteering with us. Orientation is held the First Saturday of the month from 10 am – 11 am. Participants are invited to stay and volunteer at the Farm Park from 11-1pm that day.
Click the link below to sign up for orientation and volunteer shifts. We add new opportunities periodically based on season and special projects, so check back regularly! Scroll down this page to learn more about potential volunteer opportunities or email us at volunteer@cityslickerfarms.org with questions.
