About The New Day Project
The New Day Project is a farm-based approach to well-being. We host retreats, open houses and special events at Madison Fields, a 400-acre farm nestled in the Agricultural Reserve in Montgomery County. Interacting with the animals, enjoying the vistas, walking the trails and participating in seasonal activities help guests to slow down, to connect with nature and to enjoy themselves in gentle ways.
Many of our visitors are healthcare workers and emergency responders who are keeping us safe during this challenging time. Volunteering is a wonderful way to thank them for their care and concern.
Volunteer as a New Day Ambassador
New Day Ambassadors ensure that visitors feel welcome and comfortable. As a New Day Ambassador, you will greet guests, answer questions and coordinate on-site programs with the Project Director and farm staff.
Duties may include staging a room/porch/barn for events, setting up refreshments, helping with registration and parking, escorting visitors to various locations, assisting with seasonal activities, engaging with guests/speakers and keeping areas safe and clean.
At this time, we host groups of 10 people or less due to COVID-19 restrictions. Social distancing and masks are required at all times. Personal safety and respect for the farm and its residents (including animals) are critical at all times.
