They will be in charge of managing the gate as the public enters and exits. Volunteers interested in this position must be comfortable interacting with the public, as well as be comfortable handling some of our smaller farm animals. Please inquire for more information.

About The Children's Farm at The Center
Location:
12700 Southwest Hwy., Palos Park, IL 60464, US
Mission Statement
The Center’s mission is to give people of all faiths, backgrounds, and ages the space to dream, grow, and become fully alive--physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our goal is to connect people, animals and nature.
Description
The Children's Farm at The Center offers a rare and wonderful learning place where kids experience farm animals of all types, how they live, what they eat, how they feel and sound. Here, chickens lay eggs, sheep grow wool, cows give milk and horses eat hay harvested right from our fields. At the same time, children see crops grow and begin to understand the importance of farms and farmers to their own survival. Imagine - milk doesn’t have its origins in a cardboard or plastic carton! We offer a host of enriching farm programs, where children can handle the animals and experience the life of the farm.
