Great Kids Farm is in need of out-going and fun-loving Culinary Education Volunteers to work with school groups (Pre K - 12 th grade) that come to the farm during the week for field trips (most often during the school year), between 9am-12:30pm. Culinary education volunteers lead lessons related to healthy eating and teach students to prepare simple recipes that they can share with their families.
Great Kids Farm provides Baltimore City Public Schools’ students with hands-on, real world experiences on their 33 acre outdoor learning laboratory complete with a full kitchen and café space. The Farm engages students from pre-k through graduation in programs that begin with experiential learning visits and culminate in career pathways. Approximately 3,000 City School students utilize the farm annually to connect classroom curriculum to the world around them through experiential learning. Great Kids Farm would not be able to provide these experiences to students without the generous donation of time and talent from volunteers like you!
