FareStart is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people gain skills to move out of poverty, while also working to feed the community. They have a number of volunteer opportunities coming up this summer for those interested in environmental justice, food systems, sustainability, and much more! Check it out below.

We have many volunteer opportunities for groups of 5-20 participants, including an event in July for a group of up to 75. We will be in the kitchen, out on the farm, in the community and on the golf course this spring and summer. We would be thrilled to have you join us. Experience first-hand the great work FareStart is doing in the community, make friends, team-build with your co-workers and get those good feelings!
