Students at our school regularly participate in planting and harvest day activities with the vegetables we grow in indoor/outdoor school garden. Volunteers are needed to help staff successfully run these activities by assisting with general supervision, clean-up/set-up, demonstrations and other needed tasks. Weekday availability is preferred, as most garden activities occur during school hours. The children we work with in our facility are currently receiving treatment for a variety of mental and behavioral health conditions, comfort working with this population is a must.
