Growing Community: Garden VolunTEENS

Teens, join us to get your hands dirty for the community! Learn about organic gardening and support your local community garden in this 90-minute volunteer opportunity for teens in grades 9-12. Tasks include weeding, watering, mulching, harvesting, planting, and more. Training and tools will be provided! Please come prepared to bend, squat, lift, and move your body - close-toed shoes are required, and clothes you are willing to get dirty are recommended.

Teens and their parents or guardians are required to sign a volunteer agreement in advance.
