Join us outdoors and enjoy becoming a mentor for youth in our L.E.A.D. program! From Spring through Fall, our youth programming fosters fantastic relationship building between community members and the youth participants by sharing time at our farm learning about environmental stewardship and teamwork. IMPORTANT DETAILS WHEN: From 7:45 - 11:45 am on Tuesday - Thursday beginning May 30 th. Volunteers can sign up for varying levels of regularity such as 1x per week, bi-weekly, or 1x per month. WHERE: Loveland Youth Gardeners’ Good Enough Farm WHO TO CONTACT: Our Volunteer Manager, Alexandra at volunteer@lovelandyouthgardeners.org IMPORTANT NOTE: Volunteers must be 18+ and are required to pass a background check. We are looking for adults 18 and up that are interested in working with youth facing challenges in our community. The L.E.A.D. program works with ages 13 - 18. Our youth will benefit from volunteers that have exceptional communication skills, are able to set good boundaries, enjoy working within a garden (though you do not need to have a lot of growing experience), are able to build relationships with our youth, and are comfortable working in a farm situation (walking on uneven ground, mostly standing, working in full sun, etc.). Our goal for the youth is to be seen, heard, and accepted as they are. Our belief is that relationships are essential; they are the foundation of the work we do. Consistent attendance is vital for this relationship building. It is understandable that not everyone can volunteer every day, but we hope that our volunteers can commit to joining regularly throughout the season.
