  • We are always looking for people with various backgrounds, talents, skills, and interests.
  • We also strive to accommodate different levels of available time commitments, from an occasional hour or two to an on-going leadership role.

GROUP VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

  • Newton Community Farm is a small, working farm. While we welcome group volunteer visits from organizations, businesses, and corporations, these visits require staff time to coordinate, organize, and manage.
  • To cover the cost of the visit and ensure a high quality experience, we offer a fee-based service learning program for groups wishing to volunteer at the farm.
  • We generally offer a 2 hour shift for up to eight volunteers at a time. The cost is $500 per visit.
  • If your group is interested in volunteering at Newton Community Farm, please contact Allyson MacKenna, Director of Administration and Programs, at admin@newtoncommunityfarm.org for more information on potential projects and scheduling.
