Growing Assistant Service Program
Enjoy gardening and young people? Be part of our volunteer Growing Assistants service program.
As a Growing Assistant you will provide quality, practical, and personal assistance to school
teachers and agency leaders who often lack horticultural skills and experience. As a volunteer
Growing Assistant you will help us enhance our capacity to provide horticultural and learning
supports at Cityfarm Little Green Thumb sites in the Edmonton area. A green thumb is not a
pre-requisite. However gardening experience and a passion for children and youth are an asset.
Commitment: 2-3 hours/month October 2010 – June 2011.
Applications received before September 10, 2010 will be considered.
Contact susan@city-farm.org for more information.

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.
