We are currently seeking volunteers for our fall and spring seasons! Amir Houston volunteers assist in the development of educational urban garden spaces for K-12 students in the nation's fourth-largest city.
Volunteers do everything from assisting with the care and cultivation of gardens to participating in the development of garden-based activities for young people to helping steward the Amir Houston seed bank.
Our volunteers have an interest in education, gardening and community agriculture, though they need not have formal experience. This is a learning opportunity for all!
