Featured Volunteer Opportunities
Sierra Garden Mentor – The Sierra Gardens program is looking for experienced and knowledgeable home gardeners who can be available to help throughout the growing season by assisting our gardening families with plant deliveries, planting, amending beds, irrigation repair, and all around support and advice. This support is in addition to what staff and volunteer build crews already provide. Schedule would be totally variable depending on what needs arise. Mentors can set their own schedule. Full volunteer position description here. Contact Edy@sierraharvest.org to sign up and help families grow more food!
Sierra Harvest Integrated School Farm Program Volunteer (winter/spring 2019) – Running a “station” at a farm field trip as part of the Integrated School Farm Program (Lyman Gilmore, Yuba River Charter School and Scotten School). Supplies and instructions provided. More info here.
Volunteer School Garden Assistants – Are you interested in helping students discover and learn in school gardens? Help provide students with hands-on gardening opportunities, and share your knowledge, skills and passion for growing food with Nevada County K-8 students! We are looking for volunteers to partner with local school gardens either in gardening support, lessons with students, or both.
Sierra Harvest school garden educators provide hands-on garden education to students at participating local schools – currently Alta Sierra Elementary, Cottage Hill, Lyman Gilmore, Ready Springs, and Union Hill. More info here.
