upcoming events

volunteer with us! 
The following are upcoming events open to the public. Please check back regularly for updates or--even easier!--sign up for our monthly newsletter and follow us on social media (see icons to do so in the footer).
​At Freetown Farm, we offer year-round volunteer opportunities for individuals, families, Scouts, schools, community groups and businesses. We also welcome the time and talent of people who have "behind the scenes" skills, such as social media content, grant writing, etc. If you would like to schedule a volunteer opportunity for a group or if you have questions about ways to volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@cei.earth. All volunteers must register in our volunteer management platform, Better Impact.

volunteering In person

Caring for a farm involves a lot of physical work! In 2021 we had just over 1,000 individual volunteers at Freetown Farm, many on a regular basis. We are always looking for help in the following areas:
  • Maintaining our food growing gardens (Market Garden, NAACP Garden, Grow It Eat It Garden, Youth Garden)
  • Tending to the ecological areas of the farm (woods, streams, meadows, etc.)
  • Helping with regular property maintenance (enhancing paths, removing invasives, weeding, etc.)
  • Help building structures such as outdoor education spaces, picnic tables, animal enclosures, etc.
  • Skilled labor such as plumbers, electricians, tree maintenance, etc.​​

virtual volunteering

Strategically and mindfully managing and growing a relatively young non-profit takes a lot of work! We welcome volunteer support with "behind the scenes" tasks such as:
  • administrative support
  • ​social media engagement
  • communications - newsletters, press releases, articles, etc.
  • community outreach 
  • project management
If you have a skill you want to share, we could probably put it to good use!​
