Volunteer Today

We Love Our Volunteers

As a non-profit educational farm, Urban Farming Institute (UFI) relies on the help of individual and group volunteers to help us with the day to day operations of our community farm. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds have the opportunity to learn and gain hands-on experience in a variety of areas including both farming and non-farming tasks.

All are welcome to volunteer; including groups, student clubs, businesses, and individuals. High School and University students may fulfill their community service hours with us. (Volunteers under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.)
