Volunteer with Island Farm
About Island Farm’s Volunteer Program
Island Farm’s volunteer program advances the mission of protecting natural, cultural, and historic resources by preserving and conserving a sense of place, while also supporting public education, interpretation, and outreach.
A range of volunteer roles is available for people who want to use skills they already have or explore something unfamiliar. Experienced staff and fellow volunteers provide support, answer questions, share guidance, and help volunteers continue learning.
Volunteer Activities
Volunteers contribute to:
- Gardening
- Historical interpretation
- Education
- Livestock care
- Other activities involving plants, animals, and people of all ages and backgrounds
Many opportunities happen outdoors. For a day outside, bring weather appropriate clothing, including close toed shoes, a hat, long pants, and gloves, along with water, a snack, and any other necessities.
Students, retirees, clubs, and employee groups are welcome to participate. People with specialized skills, trade experience, or ideas to share are encouraged to reach out via email. Island Farm looks forward to working with new volunteers.
