Volunteer

The Farms at Trinity Health, both the Ann Arbor and Oakland campuses, are great places to learn more about sustainable farming, practice healthy eating, and give back to your community. Our goal is to cultivate a volunteer group who become “experts” in our practices so they may take leadership roles in our growing spaces. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and abilities.

Volunteers must be 15+.

We welcome ongoing as well as one-time and group volunteers. On-going volunteers are asked to select one to two shifts that they can attend regularly through the growing season. We welcome large corporate groups on a case-by-case basis, please reach out to schedule opportunities.

Volunteer Roles

Farming

Farming volunteers typically help with a variety of farm tasks including planting, weeding, trellising, trimming, harvesting, spreading compost and mulch, land beautification, and more. This is a great volunteer position for someone who wants to expand their gardening/growing knowledge and get their hands dirty. This starts in February and runs through November.

Farm Share Packing

Farm Share Packing volunteers assist with packing our weekly Farm Share produce boxes. This is a great volunteer position for someone who would rather be inside or who has more limited mobility. This starts in April and runs through December.

Compassion Garden

Compassion Garden volunteers assist with our flower harvest and bouquets. This is a great role for people who love flowers and getting creative with bouquet making. This starts in April and runs through October.
