Whether you want to help your community, learn more about growing food, or just want to get your hands in the soil, Rid-All offers opportunities for individuals and groups to get in touch with the land. Many different types of volunteer opportunities exist, from farming to graphic design. If you have a skill that you think might be useful, please speak up and we’ll put you to work.
Volunteer orientations are held upon request at the urban farm, 8129 Otter Road in Cleveland. Orientation takes about 30 minutes and you can stay and start working right away or come back another time. Once orientated, you can volunteer anytime. After completing an orientation, volunteers are welcome daily, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., except during workshops. Volunteer sessions must be scheduled in advance.
