Community Harvest Project is seeking Volunteer Team Leaders to assist with leading volunteer groups during our busy apple harvesting season. This rewarding experience involves assisting the staff at our Prospect Hill Community Orchard in Harvard with organizing and executing the daily work of the farm.

Mission Statement
Community Harvest Project (CHP), a 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to creating healthy and engaged communities through volunteer farming and nutrition education for those who are experiencing food insecurity. Through their volunteer farming, education, and leadership programs they bring thousands of community members together each year. In 2022 they hosted 6,076 volunteer visits that allowed for 1.4 million servings of fruits and vegetables to be grown and donated through partnerships including the Worcester County Food Bank’s hunger relief network, Community Servings, and Hector Reyes House. Through their efforts they provide a significant amount of fresh produce for individuals and families in need in our community who otherwise may not have had access.
