Thank you for your interest, there are no current opportunities with Cityfarm.

Volunteer...

NEW: Growing Assistant Service Program

A NEW volunteer Growing Assistants service program will train University students and seniors to provide quality, practical, and personal assistance to school teachers and agency leaders in the Cityfarm Little Green Thumbs Program who often lack horticultural skills and experience. Volunteers may be considered for a Growing Assistant position to help us enhance our capacity to provide horticultural and learning supports at Cityfarm Little Green Thumb sites. A green thumb is not a pre-requisite. However gardening experience and a passion for children and youth are an asset. Contact susan@city-farm.org for more information


Board of Directors Candidates

Cityfarm is currently seeking candidates to grow its Board of Directors. We are looking for persons with a passion for children, community, and nature and a desire to be part of a community vision for neighborhood Cityfarms. In addition to monthly meetings, committee responsibilities will be approximately 8-12 hours per month. Candidates are asked to consider a commitment to the Cityfarm Board for a three year rotation.

Volunteer Opportunities

Cityfarm is reaching out to the community to support the work started at the Cityfarm Riverbend site and to help other communities build their own Cityfarms. We are looking for 9-12 keen volunteers to join our Fundraising Committee to develop ideas that will build sustainable Cityfarm sites so that children and youth may once again have an opportunity to:

  • Connect to and understand the natural environment.

  • Understand the food cycle and making healthy food choices.

  • Lead a healthy and fit lifestyle.

  • Engage in community development and experience positive personal transformation.


If you are interested in volunteering with Cityfarm, please contact us at 488-2500 or susan(at)city-farm.org for more information or download and submit a volunteer application form.
