It means the world to us, those we serve, and to the wider community. <\/span><\/p>\n Many of our activities and events are made possible by volunteers! Being a small team of only a few part time staff members for most of the year, we simply cannot do it all without additional hands, minds, and hearts. <\/span><\/p>\n This is a great opportunity to learn new skills, meet others, and give back to a grassroots organization. Whether you love gardening or want to pick up on a new hobby or skill, we welcome volunteers of all age groups and expertise! After all, all professionals were once beginners too! Check out our list of typical volunteer roles with YFS, and sign up to volunteer at the bottom of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are a high school student looking to get involved, head over to our Join Us! page designed for those aged 14-19!<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb content_max_width=”862px” _builder_version=”3.0.84″ body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”||40px|”]<\/p>\n Note: Not all of the following positions are available at all times, as seasonality plays a large role in what we do.
