Group Volunteer Opportunities: The Growing Project is capable of hosting groups of volunteers from 5-30 individuals at our garden depending on the time of year. This volunteer sessions can be between 1-3 hours long and may included a service learning component if requested that challenge participants to think critically about issues of sustainable agriculture and food access for an additional cost. We do charge for ALL group opportunities due to the staff time dedicated to facilitating large groups and planning activities. Sliding scale available depending on group.
