Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities

Open Volunteer Days

Spring is here and we’re ready to begin work in the gardens!  We have expanded volunteer days this year to four Saturdays a month, divided between our two farms.  Volunteer days are a great way to get to know our farms, meet the youth and gardeners involved in our project, and learn a little bit about sustainable urban agriculture.  No registration is necessary, just come ready to work and get dirty.

UCC Youth Farm: First and Third Saturdays, 10AM-2PM

Schenck Avenue between New Lots and Livonia Avenues

 

Hands and Heart Garden: Second and Fourth Saturdays, 10AM-2PM

New Lots Avenue between Alabama and Georgia Avenues
