Volunteers have the opportunity to:

• Work with young people during the school day and after school.
• Support youth as they learn how to create and maintain edible garden beds, harvest and cook fresh food, propagate seeds, and make compost in the school garden.
• Define professional goals for yourself while working with Urban Sprouts.
• Work closely with Urban Sprouts' Garden Educators.
• Help plan and staff special events.
• Assist with research study evaluations.
• Organize, plan and help with garden building and expansion projects.
• Maintain the garden during the summer and school vacations.

Volunteers are needed almost every week day at seven middle and high school sites in San Francisco. Please contact us for specific locations and schedules. Classes last one hour, and we have up to three classes each day.

• Familiarity with gardening a plus.
