Our programming and staff are in need of some extra hands to assist with the maintenance of programming facilities on site.
This is a critical need during these times where the cleanliness of shared spaces are at the top of everyone's priority list. This will help us to ensure our site is safe for all families and children who participate in our on-farm programming during this time, and will be needed between groups of kids receiving distance learning support and hands on science and environmental education.
This should take up to 25 minutes and can be completed by one person.
Our fall care program is MWF from 9 AM - 4 PM offering children a safe space to study, learn, explore, and find release while amidst a pandemic and new virtual reality.
Facilities would need to be maintained after each session, MWF after 4 pm, this way it will be sanitized and ready for those coming to the farm the following day.
With such limited staff time, this is crucial organizational & programming support.

Mission Statement
Farm Discovery at Live Earth is a nonprofit organization working in the Pajaro Valley community to empower youth and families to build and sustain healthy food, farming, social and natural systems. Our home, Live Earth Farm, is a 150 acre patchwork of working organic farm, riparian corridor, oak and redwood forest in the Pajaro Valley of Santa Cruz County, California. Discovery Docents are needed to help lead groups of students through our organic farm education activities Mondays and Fridays 8:30-12:30 during the school year. Special Events Volunteers table and lead activities at community events throughout the year.
