YOUR hands…
….make the difference. You know what to hold on to, what to reach for, and what to give as a gift. Here at Ekar your hands will create connections, grow food and friends, nourish those in need as well as yourself, and repair the environment. Experienced gardeners or those looking to know more are warmly invited.
We host regular weekly volunteer days at Ekar, as well as special volunteer build-day events (which are really skills-building opportunities), throughout the season. We also have a variety of volunteer opportunities for people interested in learning more about working in the non-profit, food and environmental justice areas.
